Road to Jericho

Robert Hornbeck

John Locklear has survived his first season of professional baseball, but the real reckoning begins on the drive home. With his makeshift family reunited and three unfinished searches ahead of him—his absent mother, his biological father, and the man who hurt him—John sets out to reclaim what was taken. What he finds instead is complicated: a father who disappoints, trauma that resurfaces without warning, and the slow, difficult work of redemption. As gospel music echoes through the miles, Hornbeck traces the geography between who John was and who he's becoming, in a novel about inherited damage, chosen family, and the long road toward healing.
