When We Found Home

Another great story by Susan! As always I was drawn into the story and read it way too fast! I tend to get sad at the end of these stories because I just want them to keep going on!!

Dear Ms. Mallery,

A few years back, I discovered your Fool's Gold series and absolutely devoured it. I read nothing else for weeks! It was pretty glorious, since one of my favorite things an author can do is continue to tell new stories in the same world.

When We Found Home isn't part of that series, but my head canon is that it's still the same world – just different characters in a different town. And oh what characters they are!

At first I had a bit of trouble with the frequent narrative changes, but once I had a handle on each character's voice it was easy to distinguish between them. Of course, my favorite was 12 year old Keira. That child stole my heart right from the start. Watching these strangers become family was almost as if I, too, was becoming part of the family. And generally speaking, that's the exact kind of thing I go to a story for.

I want to come out of it full of warm fuzzies, wearing a huge smile, and bursting with joy.

Your book gave that to me, and I really couldn't have asked for much more than that.
