About this listen
Winner of the 2022 Colorado Authors League First Place Award in Historical Fiction!
Desperate times. Danger on the rails. A journey to save a family.
It is 1933 inside a sweltering courtroom in Macon, Georgia. Fifteen-year-old Robert sits on a bench awaiting sentencing after being picked up for vagrancy and spending a night in jail. He left his home in Illinois with a neighborhood friend to ride the rails and find work to help their families. The friend turned back, too afraid to face the perils ahead. But going back empty-handed isn’t an option for Robert.
The Only Way Home is the story of one boy’s determination to survive loss and hardship to help his family—and how fate and a violin touch the course of his life.
Fans of Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens and Sold on a Monday by Kristina Morris will love this story set during the Great Depression of a fatherless boy fighting to keep his family together.
Awards
The Only Way Home received the Colorado Authors League First Place Gold Award for Historical Fiction, a Second Place Silver CIPA EVVY Award in Literary & Contemporary Fiction, and a Third Place Bronze CIPA EVVY Award in Historical Fiction. Jeanette Minniti also received an Honorable Mention Award from Readers' Favorite in Historical Fiction-Events/Eras.

After the deaths of her white father and mixed-race mother, young Eliza is left with neither home nor family in the newly forming frontier of Texas. Enslaved by men who treat her body as their property, she eventually escapes, marries, becomes a mother, and realizes her dream of having a small farm.

Story
For Iris, each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same—a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breaths in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past. Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany.

October 22, 1844: "Then shall the sanctuary be cleansed" - Not a soul wanders the streets. Businesses are boarded up. Farms have been sold. For the people of Calvary—and hundreds of thousands more across the country—the end is near. Led by the apocalyptic prophecy of Reverend William Miller, the believers have spent the year preparing for Jesus Christ to return at sundown and bring about the rapture. All of his predictions have thus far come to pass, infallible as the Bible itself.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Solid story
This book was ok. The story was very straightforward, no surprises, no build up or tension. It's like a slow summer afternoon. But I have to say, if your life is hectic and your looking for a slower more calm book, this will do the trick.
