The Road Home Book Review

I reserved this book when I saw it on the new shelf and wasn't sure if it was the book that I already read but it turned out that it was the third and final book in the series that I had already read so I was excited to read this page turner.  The Road Home (The Broken Road Series) by Richard Paul Evans was a great end to a wonderful series of heart felt books about someone trying to change their live.



From #1 New York Times bestselling author Richard Paul Evans, the dramatic conclusion in the riveting Broken Road trilogy—a powerful redemption story about finding happiness on a pilgrimage across iconic Route 66.

Chicago celebrity and pitchman Charles James is supposed to be dead. Everyone believes he was killed in a fiery plane crash, a flight he narrowly missed. But thanks to that remarkable twist of fate, he’s very much alive and ready for a second chance at life and love. Escaping death has brought Charles some clarity: the money, the fame, the expensive cars; none of it brought him true joy or peace. The last time he was truly happy was when he was married to his ex-wife Monica, before their relationship was destroyed by his ambition and greed.

In the exciting and provocative series that began with The Broken Road and The Forgotten Road, Charles is still on his pilgrimage across the iconic Route 66 in The Road Home. He intends to finish his trek from Amarillo to Santa Monica, despite learning that his ex-wife is now planning to marry another man. With the initial reason for his trip in jeopardy, he still has lessons to learn along the way before he discovers—and arrives at—his true destination.

I thought this was a great series.  This is the third book in the series and it brings a great conclusion to the series where Charles James is walking across Route 66 from Chicago to California.  In the process, he is trying to change his life and this book is where he shows what he learned.  In the first two books, it talks about the supposed death and reaction to In this book, he finishes his trip and decides what he wants to do with his life after visiting his wife, meeting his son, and going to a friends funeral.  There are interesting things that he looks back at his whole journey and decides what he wants to do to change his life before he is declared dead.  I think that it was a great story to bring an end to the great series with a lot of emotion.  I hope that you pick up this book and others in the series to see what he learns through his travels and how Charles changes.
