The Long Road Home

A Loblolly Small-Town Mystery

A small-town mystery where a missing child forces a woman to confront the life she left behind.

Her daughter is gone—and this time, she’s not running.

Maggie McAllister has spent years building a dazzling life in Paris as an award-nominated screenwriter. Everything is structured, ambitious, and carefully controlled—until a hand injury threatens her career and forces her back to Loblolly, Georgia.

She tells herself it’s temporary. Time to recover, help her mother, and regain her footing. Nothing more.

But Loblolly still holds the life she walked away from—especially Asa Griffin, the man who never left.

Then Maggie’s estranged husband, Julian, reappears, determined to reclaim his place. What begins as an uneasy reunion turns into a nightmare when he vanishes with their daughter, Poppy.

Now, with the town rallying around her, Maggie must face the choices she’s spent years avoiding—and decide what matters most.

Because this time, walking away isn’t an option.

The Long Road Home to Loblolly is Book 5 in the Loblolly series. Perfect for readers who love Louise Penny and M.C. Beaton, with a missing child, second chances, and small-town secrets.
