Summary: Superb Read, Emotional Roller Coaster With Inspiring Finish!
Review: "Things are rarely as they seem." That perhaps sums up this wonderful book concisely. Micah (Mike) Winship returns home after a 20-year estrangement from her father who is now dying. Never being close to the man and long a "worldly" woman, Mike is looking to recapture a simpler life. She soon learns that the basic things she once eschewed (family, land, love) are the greatest aspects of life. She reconciles with the great love of her young life who is anything but what he seems. Mike's one-time beautiful older sister has her own plans for the future and the protagonist soon finds herself allying with the man she never dreamed she be close to and a mysterious outsider who plays his way into her trust and heart. This book will appeal to all romantics and those who are close to their family (or wish that they were). It is a novel of the heart and leaves you wanting more. This book will stay with you for a long time!

Summary: A tear jerker you'll read again and again!
Review: Daughters with strained relationships with their dads are not uncommon. Every woman can relate to Micah and her unknowing of her fathers love for her. She may stumble through her life but she learns so many lessons just by coming home. I want the book in hardcover to have forever and to pass on to my daughter. It made me understand my own father more

Review: I have read most of Ms. Siddons books. This one is for anyone who has ever had a strained family relationship. She is really a great writer.

Review: I thought the storyline was good. I found the descriptions of some of the characters in this book to be offensive, especially the character's sister DeeDee. I will probably not read another book by this author just because of this.

Summary: Great Books
Review: I to date have read all but two of Ann Siddon's books. They are the most entrancing books that I have ever read. I highly recomend them. I could not stop turning pages far into the night. Happy reading.

Summary: Deeply Moving Story of Forgiveness
Review: Micah "Mike" Winship was going home to a place she'd fled in 1963 when her father had thrown her out. It's twenty years later, she's become an award-winning journalist, and has not spoken to her father in all that time. A plea from her sister, Dee Dee asking her to return and help with their father who was dying from prostate cancer and wanted to see her came at a point in Mike's life where she virtually had no other place to go. Mike's world was collapsing around her and she needed a place to go - to re-group, and pull herself together, even if it meant facing the man whose love and acceptance she had tried to gain during her awful childhood. What Mike finally discovers, after more betrayals, is the heart, soul and essence of the man she called `daddy' and a real place called `home'.This was my first book by this author whose eloquence with the written word is so outstanding that she slips under the skin of the extremely well sketched characters and lets you breathe their air, and pump their blood. You will laugh, cry, and feel each emotion as the author sketches the life of a memorable journey taken by the youngest daughter of coming home again. Totally thought provoking and believable. This is an outstanding classic novel that I see why it has been resurrected and reissued for a new generation of readers to embrace!
