Books with title Lion A Long Way Home

Brought to you by Penguin. Aged just five, Saroo Brierley was separated from his family in India when he boarded a train that took him 1500km from his hometown. After weeks surviving alone on the streets of Calcutta, he was eventually adopted by an Australian couple. As an adult, Saroo couldn't help but think about the family he'd lost. Years later, he swapped the map of India on his wall for Google Earth, scouring it for landmarks he knew from his childhood. One day, he saw something he recognised, and he set off on a journey to find his mother....

After seven years in prison, Duncan Malone has returned home to Washita, Texas, to reclaim his land that now belongs to strangers. But his homecoming isn't a warm one; his mother lies in a catatonic state, and the residents of Washita aren't taking well to a murderer living amongst them. Franki Taylor is seven-months pregnant, alone, and forced to run her grandfather's farm as he succumbs to pneumonia. So when Duncan, the farm's former owner, comes seeking a job, Franki knows she's in no position to turn him away. Soon, their convenient partnership turns into a budding passion they're both powerless to resist. But both Franki and Duncan have an enemy lurking in their midst, determined to destroy not only their love, but their very lives.
