Resumen del Editor

Cassie Madison has it all: A high-powered advertising career; a stylish Manhattan apartment; and a sophisticated, rich, and gorgeous fiancé. It's a far cry from her childhood in Walton, Georgia, home of the annual Kudzu Festival and hot, sticky summers.

And then there are all the bad memories, the heartache. When Cassie's estranged sister calls to say that her father is dying, Cassie knows it's time to set aside her feelings and go home and face the sister she hasn't seen in 15 years.

When her father dies, he leaves the family home to Cassie, who can't wait to get rid of it and get back to New York, her job, and her fiancé, even if it means having a developer tear down the house.

But something keeps her in Walton, and she doesn't know if it's her mending relationship with her sister; the irresistible, aggravating Sam Parker, who wants her to preserve her house; or the feeling of finally being home.

Falling Home

I loved this book. At first I thought it was a little slow. I continued listening and so glad I did! Another great listen from Karen White. Now to On Folly Beach. Thank you!

Recommended

Loved this! I haven't cried from joy and sadness during a book in years. This was recommended to me and it was definitely memorable. I'm sad now that it's over and will listen to it again.

Not one of her best

I have enjoyed many Karen White books, this one- not so much. The Sound of Glass is one of my favs! I almost returned the book a few times. Cassie was not an enjoyable character!!

I'm glad this Fell on my lap

I'm not sure how I missed this book being it is wrote and read by two of my faves A great little weekend trip that I very much enjoyed

Story predictable and sluggish

I liked the story, but found the plot moved too slowly. It was an interesting small town setting. One didn’t have to be a genius to guess the ending-too many foreshadowing hints along the way. I’s say it was a light read and nothing more.

really good book

this was a very good book although very slow to start but it started to get good in the middle and was good for the rest of the book

good story

I enjoyed this book almost as much as other books by this author. Not as much intrigue as her others but still a good one. The southern drawl.was quite drawn-out at times. If it bothers you just speed it up

Touching

Excellent story. Excellent reader. I wept through the latter half when Harriet was given her grim diagnosis. My sister has the same diagnosis and I gasped as the plot unfolded!! There is life and there is death and then there is life again. I really enjoy listening to a book without cursing and foul language and deeds. Thank you Karen White.

Good story, good narration.

Any additional comments?

Overall a good story, but a bit slow and a bit depressing. Narrator was really good with different voices. Enjoying listen overall.

I' ve become a real fan of Karen White

This is one of my favorite Karen White books. She sometimes has a tendency to portray her heroine as a doormat, but not so in Falling Home. It's a very emotional story about family and the lasting consequences of our youthful decisions. I highly recommend this book.
