Nathan Serrano survived the jungles of Cuba, the brutality of war, and twelve years serving the Spanish Crown. But as the Spanish–American War comes to an end in 1898, he faces an impossible choice: leave the island forever… or risk everything to return to the family he left behind.

While Spanish soldiers celebrate their long-awaited departure from Cuba, Nathan deserts the army and disappears into the unforgiving wilderness. Hunted by Cuban insurgents, weakened by exhaustion, and haunted by the memories of war, he begins a desperate journey across a shattered island toward Havana — where his wife Vanessa and young daughter Samantha are waiting.

But the war may be over for governments and generals.

For ordinary men trapped between loyalty, identity, and survival, the real struggle has only begun.

Set during the turbulent aftermath of the Spanish–American War, The Long Road Home is a grounded and emotionally charged historical novel about survival, family, and one man’s determination to find his way home.
