Description
When Gabi and Jay first fell passionately in love, they lived on different continents. Separated for five years by circumstances and distance, they eventually found a way to marry. Over three decades, though, alcoholism tore them apart, and Gabi moved on. Then a fatal diagnosis forced them both to make decisions. Without love, Jay’s final journey would be lonely and hard, and Gabi knew she had to return to care for him.
She never expected to fall in love again.
The memoir doesn’t shy away from the realities of life, but the relationship between these two lovers, tested by separations, alcoholism, and to its ultimate limit by pancreatic cancer, proves that love – and a sense of humor – can conquer anything, even death.

Gabi, every word spoke to me. Your life, your love, your precious family filled my heart. You amazed me with the structure you adopted to weave in backstory. You showed strength of character through the difficulties of divorce, remarriage, single motherhood, devastating sickness, and death. Thank you for sharing your life with truth, insight and caring. Your book, Love’s Journey Home, was the best of the many memoirs I’ve read and helpful to me as I write mine.

Thanks so much Gail – I’m glad you found the memoir interesting – I never know how people will react, because everyone brings their own history to the table… Good luck with yours
