It's possible that there's a character who is running away from something and the long ride home is their way of facing it. There could also be a character like an old friend or a love interest at the end of the ride home, waiting for the protagonist. All these characters would shape the plot and the overall feel of the novel.
I don't know since I haven't read the book, but it could be a lone traveler, or perhaps a family making the long ride home together.
Since I'm not familiar with this particular 'the long ride novel', the main characters could be people with a goal related to the long ride. For example, a group of explorers seeking a new land or a person running away from something and using the long ride as an escape. They might have different personalities, some brave, some cautious, and their interactions during the ride would form the core of the story.
The main theme could be self - discovery. Maybe the long ride home in the novel represents a journey of the character towards understanding themselves better.
It might be a young adult who has just left college for the semester break and is on a long ride home to their family. They could be full of stories from their college days and excited to share them with their loved ones during the ride.
