Publisher's summary

In the midst of the Great Depression, Cassandra Scheimer is trying to keep the family farm afloat in the Big Woods of Wisconsin...alone. As a local midwife and struggling backwoods doctor, she certainly doesn't need more mouths to feed.

Stephanie Evans is a widow enceinte with her third child. She accepts a kind stranger’s offer of marriage in exchange for keeping house for him...but he never shows up to claim her. While dealing with unrequited guilt and the desperation of impoverished motherhood, moving in and consequentially falling in love with Cass is the least of her worries.

For Cass, having been in love with a woman once before, she feels it couldn’t possibly happen twice. When it does, Cass is convinced the love cannot be returned. Can she and Stephanie keep it hidden from the prying eyes of children and the meddling neighbors in this small rural community?

Can Cass deal with the guilt she feels over her brother’s injury, an injury that prevents him from doing his duty for their country? She worries joining the Nursing Corps may put too much stress on her newfound relationship with Stephanie, yet she decides to join nonetheless.

The woman who returns from the war and the woman left behind on the farm are not the same people who once fell in love. Can they return to being lovers after years spent apart? Destiny put them in each other’s path, but will World War II tear apart their love?

Timeless love endures it all...

I love history books and K'Anne knocks this one out of the park. The Rollercoaster of emotions will keep you hanging on to each word.

Excellent Audio!

I loved The Journey Home. A great mix of romance, heart break and how to make a sustainable farm work. Cassandra Arnold does a great job with the narration.

What a Touching Story

I totally enjoyed this book. The story line brought me into it, and I felt like the characters were real and my friends. My "friends" made me laugh and cry while I went back in time. Highly recommend this book.

Need a change

The entire book and the story would have been different had it been with a narrator who had some emotions to the scenes. This narrator was terrible! I just couldn’t stand it after a few chapters. This narrator needs to be changed so the K’Anne Meinel books can actually be enjoyed and among the favorites! Especially when you have 14-15 hrs of reading. It’s a necessity to enjoy the book.
