From author Terry Davis comes A Long Road Home, a highly invigorating tale that bares uninhibited teenage exploits of the mid-20th century to survive the unforgiving streets she finds herself in. This book will keep readers begging for more as it unravels an absorbing plot involving violent sex, dire situations arising from drug trafficking.

Based in and around the ancient medieval town of Faversham, England, young Julie's out of the ordinary adventures commences after she runs away from a spiteful Matron at the orphanage where she lived since the age of four. Oblivious of the harsh realities of the real world, she embarks on a harrowing journey that opens her eyes to the disappointing situation of the place, of the people around her, and, more importantly, the real person she has grown to become.

Set against the backdrop of mid-twentieth century England, readers will follow the rollercoaster life the heroine endures in search of the meaning of life and establishing her identity. Since running away from the orphanage, they can follow how Julie copes with the tribulations that turn comet along the way. Wandering aimlessly from one place to the next, she encounters people from all walks of life through chance meetings; some for a short, trivial chat, while others play a huge role in exposing her to sinful pleasures.

A thoroughly absorbing novel, A Long Road Home reveals the melancholic path teenagers were forced to take long ago in their quest to understand the world, its people and the true self.

He spent most of his young life in hospitals and convalescent homes including 11 months in Davos, Switzerland. Due to his health problems Terry missed most of his school years and consequently had a poor education but this did not hold him back from being a successful businessman.
