Long Journey Home, is an autobiography beginning in Poland in 1939. This is a little known story of what happened in Poland during Russian occupation as seen through the eyes of a young girl. On June 20, 1941, a ten year-old girl living a quiet country life is suddenly awakened by a knock on the door in the middle of the night. Two Russian soldiers pointing rifles at parents gave orders to be ready to leave at dawn. Their destination was Siberia. One day after their arrest, Germany declared war on Russia and re-conquering the eastern part of Poland, moved swiftly into Russian mainland. Stalin unable to contain them, sought help from Western Allies. An amnesty pact was signed at the Kremlin with General Sikorski for the Polish Government-in-Exile, granting freedom to all Polish prisoners and deportees. It also provided for formation of a Polish volunteer army on Russian soil to be trained and shipped to the Western Front. Anyone having a close relative in that army could leave Russia. The author and her family were the lucky ones. Freed from Russia in August 1942, going through the Caspian Sea to Persia (now Iran), India, Mexico and, ultimately after six years of wanders, landing in the U.S.

Have you woken up to the journey of life? Have you reached a point where you long for “something more”? Have the things you have striven to achieve turned out to be far less than enough? Do you desire to unriddle life’s mystery and pursue a life rich with significance? Long Journey Home is a seeker’s road map to the quest for meaning. Rich in stories and profoundly personal as well as practical, it explores the great philosophies of life and charts the road toward meaning taken by countless thoughtful seekers over the centuries. Written for those who care and those who are open, “it assumes no faith in the reader, only the recognition that the humanness of life as a journey is something we should all care about enough to seek to make sense of it and to make up our minds for ourselves.”

From a fifteen-year-old child who had spent four years as a slate picker in the mines of southern West Virginia, to a marine who earned a combat promotion to captain after distinguishing himself at the battle of the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean war, Rex Luther Buford leads an eventful life. Being determined to not live and die as his father had done struggling to get air into lungs ravaged by black lung caused by years of exposure to coal dust and with the reluctant blessing of his mother, Rex heads out into the world. With ten years traveling the world doing covert operations for various government agencies, he leaves the marine corps to become a troubleshooter for a New York investment firm. Rex Luther, having proven himself as the best, is able to pick his assignments; and when trouble in the coalfields catches the attention of corporate heads, Rex is asked to look into it. The "Long Journey Home" becomes a reality when he chooses to take the assignment and becomes embroiled in family and a struggle to suppress the emotional impact of being reunited with those he has loved from afar. As he slowly adjusts to becoming a member of the family he left years before, the actions of folks desperately trying to sweep the evidence of stealing coal shipments under the rug bring violence and turmoil to a once-peaceful valley. With the support of Sis, Frank, the experienced coal miner who he chose to cover his back, and Sandy, a schoolteacher transplanted from the city, he plows ahead with his investigation. As the facts emerge, some folks scramble for cover while others attempt to remove the evidence of their crimes and Rex Luther.

The summer of 1939 turned out to be the last summer of author Lucy Lipiner's childhood. On September 1, when she was six years old, her parents roused Lucy and her older sister from their beds, and with other relatives in tow fled their town of Sucha and the invasion by Nazi Germany . Their journey of survival was not easy, and in Long Journey Home: A Young Girl's Memoir of Surviving the Holocaust, from the perspective of that young girl, Lucy (Lusia) narrates her family's story. From her sheltered life in a small town at the foothills of Tatra Mountains to her time as a barefoot and hungry little girl in Siberia and Tajikistan in central Asia, and finally her arrival in America, this memoir shares the emotional details and the physical struggles of a ten-year flight to freedom. An extraordinary story of resilience, Long Journey Home is a detailed, historical account of a little known and rarely discussed group of Holocaust survivors.
