The Long Journey Home

Can a woman find her a new path after the love of her life dies in a horrible accident in front of her?

Morgan Walker and her wife were vacationing in the mountains when they were attacked by a grizzly bear. Morgan's wife was killed in front of her and Morgan suffered life-threatening injuries. Two years later she still has not dealt with the aftermath even though she has tried therapy, alcohol, and in the early days talking with her friends. Now she just functions by writing screenplays, except now she has written THE story, the one where everyone was destroyed but for the movie screen she had to change it to a happy ending. Enter English actress Jenna Graham playing the part of her wife who has real life issues of her own back home which include a cheating boyfriend, a lying best friend, and a son staying with her parents. Jenna ends up staying in Morgan's guest house for the movie shoot and unexpected happiness is in the air or is that love?

The Long Journey Home by Kat Smith is a lovely romance with a slow burn which is satisfied with quick glimpses into what could be. Smith has written a great supporting cast for Morgan in her unlikely best friends: her producer and business partner who has a cheating husband, a pop star whose husband gambles and refuses to work, and a drug addicted dancer on the pop star's tour. All of their stories are included within Journey and only one of them is (well two) is bisexual. Amazingly enough though, when Morgan dissolves during the bear accident and later, they are all there for her and she is there for them. The Journey is not just about Morgan and Jenna's journey, but the path of friendship and the twists and turns it can take. Smith writes all of these characters as very human which means they mess up and are not perfect - just like real life. The core of Journey is Morgan and Smith does justice to her and their story. At the end there are some quick resolutions to other problems that do not involve Morgan that I felt that I missed out on getting to see which bummed me out because I felt that Smith had me there all along to witness everything else but their happy ending. We do get to see Morgan's happy ending and she is our heroine and the Journey is worth it.
