Review: The Last Way Home

The Last Way Home by Liz Johnson
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

This was a beautiful story about forgiveness and reconciliation.

“I think maybe forgiveness isn’t sweet because it’s earned.” His voice rumbled so low that it vibrated in his chest. “Forgiveness is sweet because none of us deserve it.”

Both Eli and Violet had something they ran away from which made them feel they do not deserve forgiveness and the best which is set out for them. Through other people who poured out unconditional love, acceptance, and forgiveness, they were on a journey to self-forgiveness - which is sometimes the hardest of all.

I loved the family and the brothers’ relationship. I would have enjoyed seeing more interaction between the brothers, but what I have seen I adored.

Some favourite characters from the PEI series pops in and plays a short but impactful part in Eli and Violet’s journey.

“Maybe God doesn’t always fix what’s shattered. But he can make something new and beautiful out of what’s been broken.”

I enjoyed this second book in the series and am looking forward to the third book about Levi.
