Description
"Slow Way Home is a warm, witty, fresh, and innovative novel." - --Homer Hickam, author of October Sky "Slow Way Home is a gem -- both gritty and heartwarming at once. A wonderful, emotional read." - --Lee Smith, author of The Last Girls "Slow Way Home is a novel for the heart. It is pitch perfect and the character Brandon is going to linger in a lot of minds. The opening chapter is one of the most poignant and poweful I have ever read. This is a fine book." - Anne Rivers Siddons, author of Nora, Nora "A gentle story suffused with brutal truths, almost fable-like in its resonant simplicity.....a journey well worth taking." - --Tim Farrington, author of The Monk Downstairs "In a remarkably consistent narrative voice, Morris takes us along for a moving, funny ride..." - --Silas House, author of Clay's Quilt and A Parchment of Leaves "Slow Way Home is a journey of the human spirit and its themes... make it a novel for the ages." - --Richard Paul Evans, author of The Christmas Box "Master storyteller Michael Morris has delivered another stunning novel….touching, truthful, and beautifully written. It is not to be missed!" - --Lynne Hinton, author of Friendship Cake "a compulsively readable novel with many fine passages on the importance of home and the comforts of faith." - Booklist "[A] tour de force... told in a Southern style that invites readers in and asks them to stay awhile." - --Gadsden Times (Northeast AL) "Michael Morris is someone to watch .. .[Slow Way Home is] courageous and heartbreaking and moving...." - --The Birmingham News "Brandon Willard may well be one of the most endearing novel narrators since Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird." - -- Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, 9/28/03 "[B]oth contemporary and timeless...read the book and savor for yourself Brandon's redemption ...." - -- Mobile Register, 9/27/03 "[E]motional and fast-paced . . . the social issues covered make this an intelligent book for debate." - -- Southern Scribe, 9/03 "Morris excels in creating the child's voice.... an inspiring portrait of a true survivor." - BookPage "… echoes of Harper Lee…or of Flannery O'Connor's Southern grotesques . . . or even of Huck Finn…. " - Washington Post "An emotionally charged work that is as timely as it is touching." - --Dallas Morning News "Slow Way Home is one of those rare finds....it should become a classic." - --Tampa Tribune (Florida) "...impressive achievement...entertaining and affecting." - --St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 12/28/03 "Morris' insightful book gives voice to the struggle millions of grandparents and the grandchildren in their care face everyday." - --Donna M Butts, Executive Director, Generations United
