Despite Audrey's intent to avoid emotional entanglement, the pull of home is hard to resist. Something should be done about the deteriorating inn.

My Thoughts
A good debut from Kit Tosello! This story was full of depth and definitely tugged at you heartstrings as you experience grief with Audrey who is still reeling from the death of his father and you also experience grief from aunt Daisy although hers is in the form of her husband having Alzheimer's and she is seeing the person she fell in love with disappear before her eyes. This is told in two different point of views as the story is of both Audrey and Daisy.
The story does start a bit slow so it took me a while to get into it but I am glad I stuck with it. I thought that the growth that Audrey experiences throughout the story was great and all the little details were needed to see her come full circle. The author did great at keeping the faith themes throughout the story and makes you really think what home truly is for you? It means something different for every one.
Overall I really enjoyed the story and I can't wait to see what else this author writes in the future!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review. All views expressed are my own.
