A Thousand Roads Home – Carmel Harrington
Where is home? For some, it's a place. For others, it's the people who make life worth living. Single mother Ruth and her young son, DJ, have always felt like outsiders, but together they've built a life despite the challenges they face. When their fragile stability is threatened, they must navigate an uncertain future and struggle to hold onto hope.
Their lives become intertwined with Tom, a homeless man burdened by grief and regret who has spent years disconnected from the world. As their paths cross, three ordinary people discover the extraordinary power of kindness, friendship and second chances.
