Someday Home by Lauraine Snelling - A Book review

Reading is one of life’s pleasures.

Finding a good author is discovering a friend with a great imagination.  (Click to Tweet)

If you are looking for a good story, I recommend a new book by Lauraine Snelling.

I have never read anything by Lauraine Snelling until now. Her book called, Someday Home: A Novel, is delightful. She drew me in right away with her characters—three women who find themselves needing a home. 

I identified with each of them in a different way.

Lynn has lost her husband and doesn’t want to leave her home. Her situation made me think of my mom who just lost her mom last year and my dad five years ago. She is trying to make all of those financial decisions based on whether it’s best for her to move to a smaller house. None of them are easy.

Judith spent her life caring for her parents and their stately home with the promise that she would be cared for after they’re gone. She discovers that’s not the case at all. She has nothing; no home, not even an education.

Angela has just been served divorce papers. Enough said.

The author weaves a wonderful tale of friendship, forgiveness and discovery as they become housemates; and I loved every minute of it. 

Because of reading, Someday Home: A Novel, I am on the lookout of more stories by Lauraine Snelling. She is a wonderful writer and has a deep understanding of what women face along life’s pathway.

A Whirlwind Month - Catching Up

Happy Summer! I can't believe it's July already.

June was full of fun stuff like my birthday (June 25) and a family vacation to Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. Our kids are spread out all over the country so we planned a week where we could all meet and chill out together.

We enjoyed visiting Luray Caverns and Harper's Ferry. We loved our family time together around the table.

Then I spent a week in Maine with my daughters to visit family there.

I think I am finally caught up on laundry; I grocery shopped to restock the shelves; And, I am home for awhile.

I did have two guest posts air if you would like to take a look. Both are at Everlasting Dust Blog. Tiffany Small is on a missions trip and she asked if she could reprint a couple of my previous posts while she is out of the country.
