Gail Caldwell's title, Let's Take the Long Way Home: A Memoir of Friendship, is the story of Caldwell's friendship with writer Caroline Knapp. They initially met while walking their beloved 
dogs, and the friendship quickly developed into one of those rare and lasting relationships between women, sisters-in-heart. They shared a love for long hikes through the woods of New England, competitive kayaking, their struggles with alcoholism and with men, and of course their dogs, always by their side. When Caroline is diagnosed with lung cancer, their friendship binds and supports them. A beautifully written, touching tribute to friendship and life's challenges.
