The Way Home is a novel written by Basil King, a Canadian-born American author. The story follows the life of a young man named David Lanning, who is orphaned at a young age and grows up to become a successful businessman. However, despite his success, David feels unfulfilled and disconnected from the world around him.One day, David is involved in a car accident that leaves him stranded in a small town in the countryside. As he waits for his car to be repaired, he begins to interact with the local people and discovers a sense of community and purpose that he has been missing in his life.Through his experiences in the small town, David learns about the importance of family, friendship, and love. He also confronts his own past and comes to terms with the trauma and loss that he has experienced.The Way Home is a heartwarming and uplifting story that explores themes of identity, belonging, and personal growth. It is a timeless tale that speaks to the universal human experience and the search for meaning and fulfillment in life.1913. Canadian clergyman turned writer, Basil King (author of The Inner Shrine) produced his first noteworthy novel at the age of 50. He believed in spiritualism and claimed that a spirit personality guided his writing. The book begins: An incident like that of the missionary box could not but fix in Charlie Grace�������s mind the approximate date of his first conscious wish to be a clergyman. Thinking it over in after life, he reckoned that it must have been in 1874, when he was five years old. While other childish happenings grew dim to incoherence this one stood out clearly. He came, indeed, to take it as the starting-point of his personal activity, referring back to it as the beginning of things rather than to his birth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
