Reviews

<div><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px;color:#111111;">INSPIRING MESSAGE. THE LONG WAY HOME by author Phillip Overton explores the question of why bad things happen to good people. With an inspiring theme, the book centres on the lives of Doug and Rowena Small and their son, Simon. Overton's descriptive passages vividly set the stage and bring the setting of Gosford, Australia to life. The author's voice rings through without being intrusive or overwhelming. The story moves along at a pace appropriate to the story and situation. The story concept is compelling and includes the right amount of suspense to keep the reader's interest. The compulsion to turn the page stays with the reader from start to finish.<br /><br /><strong style="font-family:Tahoma;">Official Review from 15th Annual Writer's Digest International self-published Book Awards, USA</strong></span></span></div>
