About Going Home

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator. Rosa is running from the storm of emotion that resulted from a serious deception she carried out against her brand new husband. Nashe is running away from the injustice of his life as a pastor's son. But neither planned to get lost in the African bush, and they both soon realize that running away is likely to cause much more dangerous problems than those that they've left… ********* The morning after Rosa and George's wedding, neither could be a happier person. On their way to their honeymoon in Zimbabwe, George's home country, he eagerly anticipates reuniting with family he has not seen for years, while Rosa can hardly wait to see Sheila and Hank Johnson, the couple that helped transform her and her family's life while they were teaching in her niece's school, and now serve as missionaries in a rural Zimbabwe village. In the meantime, George's nephew, Nashe, has had it with living under the thumb of a stern pastor. He's had it with church hypocrisy, had it with the pressure and expectations placed upon him as a preacher's kid. So when he's given spending a week in "the bush" with the Johnsons as a choice of punishment after he deceives his parents, he realizes that making the choice just might be his way out. A few days after arriving in Zimbabwe, George soon discovers a secret that Rosa has been keeping from him, a secret that he feels dashes one of his deepest desires into a million pieces. Despite Rosa's attempt to make things right, emotions run higher and higher until Rosa takes impulsive action. She runs away from the village and into the bush. The same day, Nashe puts his plan into motion. Rosa stumbles upon him in her own flight, and they both soon realize that running into the African bush isn't the wisest way to escape their troubles. Because they are utterly and completely lost. They must depend on each other for survival, but if ever there was a situation of the blind leading the blind, this one is it… ********* This novel is the direct sequel to the second book in Emily Josephine's "Texas Hearts" series, Guns and Rosa, and will be best understood in the context of that novel.
