A woman faces a turning point in her life that leads her to new friends, new loves, and an island.

For over twenty years, Cammy Coleman dreamt of visiting the beautiful island of St. Gabriel. Filled with history and tradition, it’s surrounded by the brilliant northern waters of Lake Brigade. Charming old buildings line its main street, and grand homes, cottages, gardens, and woods complete the picture-perfect landscape. Life has never allowed Cammy to make the trip to St. Gabe, but she’s been content to be a homemaker, mother, and wife to her husband of twenty-five years, tucking away her dreams for someday.

But when the husband she adores suddenly asks for a divorce, not only is she devastated, but the last thing she wants to do is leave the safety and solitude of her home. Her well-meaning friends, however, have something else in mind. Hoping to distract her from her grief, they convince Cammy to go with them on a weeklong retreat to St. Gabriel. Cammy grudgingly agrees, but she soon finds herself immediately drawn to the island and an abandoned lodge in a way that opens up the possibilities of a new life, new loves, and finding her way home.

Warm and inviting, My Way Home is a touching, entertaining, and emotionally-powerful story that speaks to the inner strength within us all.



Excerpt

“You know, the place you’ve been filing away information about for the last twenty years, the place you have pictures of pinned to the bulletin board in your studio—St. Gabriel Island?”
“Yes, I know, St. Gabriel Island.”
“Well?”
“It’s really thoughtful, generous, but it’s too generous, and it’s not a good time”
“Really and why not?”
“I’m trying to fi gure things out, and Janie’s home. I can’t leave her.”
“That’s what you’ve been saying for three months and I’ve already talked to Janie. She’s gonna help you pack.”
“And I have to be at the divorce mediation on the twenty-fourth.”
“I know you do. Then you’re taking a shuttle to the airport and meeting us in Detroit. We’ll rent a car and drive like wild women to catch the last ferry of the day.”
“I wouldn’t be any fun, Lo. You guys go. Besides, if I ever go there, I want to feel… human. It’d be a waste.”
“Come on Cam. This is something you’ve wanted to do for such a long time.”
We went back and forth until I didn’t have the energy to argue with her anymore. Also, the alarm went off, and I needed to get out of bed and prepare to put on the “Everything’s Fine Show” for Janie.
