Summary

A faith-filled novel of love, caregiving, and grace — inspired by a true story.

Josie believes the hardest chapters are behind her when she meets Jay. Their marriage is built on faith, laughter, and a quiet promise to keep holding hands through every season — easy and unbearable alike.

Then Jay begins to change. A diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia rewrites their future, and Josie must learn to love a man who is slowly slipping away — while holding on to the woman she is becoming, and the God who meets her in the valley.

The Long Way Back to Love is a tender, unflinching story of marriage, dementia, and the hope that finds us in our darkest hours. A clean, faith-based love story for anyone who has cared for someone through illness and loss.

For listeners who love the heart of Nicholas Sparks and the faith of Karen Kingsbury — and for every widow, caregiver, and family member who has discovered that even when we have to let go, we are still holding hands.
