Publisher Description

Publishers Weekly calls this moving novel by acclaimed author Will Allison "a tight drama, part psychological thriller, part tragedy." Taking his daughter Sara home from school one day, New Jersey accountant Glen drives his car into another vehicle, killing its driver. Since no one else saw the accident, Glen lies about it to the police-a decision that sends his life spiraling out of control. "Allison's effortless prose and playful genre mixing showcase a burgeoning talent."-Publishers Weekly

"I'm a great fan of epistolary novels. This one is no exceptions. I started it today. The plot begins immediately. The style is direct, cssual and the characters speak in sentences, written in believable prose. I couldn't put the book down. I finished it. As a driver in NJ, it's important to keep cool arouind the nuts on the road: there are many! Yet, when I finished the book, I wondered: "What would I have done, in the same scenario?" I really liked the honesy in Sara. I think Liz was too muich a product of her upbringing. If anyone else is reading this post, pick up a copy of "Long Drive Home.""

    " To start July 1 and done all ready. Its a fast read as its just over 200 pages. Hmmm the little things we do and how they effect those around us. I say she saw this as an excuse. She gave up too easily. And the little one is right she knew what wad going on all along. "

    " This book was an easy, short, simple read. I loved that it had my heart beating so fast as it was giving details about the accident. I loved the message it had about the decisions people make and the possible consequences that could affect them and then in return affect all their loved ones.I didn't really like the ending though.

    " I couldn't put this book down. I thought it was so stressful to read though, I felt the characters burden of carrying his secret. On top of that, I am not the most patient driver, what if this happened to me? Would I keep details secret too? Great little read. "
