The Long Way Home: Detours and Discoveries
Tom Montgomery Fate comes to define “home” not as a physical location, but as a way of belonging. “Migrating birds have an internal compass that allows them to home their way back to their nesting place each spring,” he writes. “For birds, home is both verb and noun—both journey and destination.”
“In this beautifully written memoir, travel is more than an attempt to collect passport stamps and check off bucket lists. It’s a chance to see rather than look.” -Booklist
“Tom Fate offers us a testament of devotion—to family, social justice, the unsung midwestern landscape, and the wisdom housed in books. His own book adds to that wisdom, harvesting insights from a lifetime of inner and outer travels.” -Scott Russell Sanders
