The Long Road Home

by Rachel Druten

Will Becca find her true love at home?   After the death of her mother, Rebecca Hostettler is determined to become a doctor—no easy task for a woman in the late 1890s.   Peter Chaloupek, taken in and raised by the Hostettlers since age ten, wants nothing more than to continue farming with Becca’s father and marry the woman he loves—the future Dr. Rebecca Hostettler. But when Becca writes home, singing the praises of a wealthy, handsome young man she met her first day at medical school, Peter fears that Becca will never see him as anything but a brother.   Is it too late for Peter to fulfill his dreams? Will Becca become the wife of a future lawyer and politician, or will she take the long road home and find her true love?   "And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost."   Luke 15:6
