Publisher's summary

New York Times best seller

An inspiring stand-alone novel about the enduring bond between sisters, the power of forgiveness, and a second chance at love.

Growing up, Cassie Carter and her sisters, Karen and Nichole, were incredibly close - until one fateful event drove them apart. After high school, Cassie ran away from home to marry the wrong man, throwing away a college scholarship and breaking her parents' hearts. To make matters worse, Cassie had always been their father's favorite - a sentiment that weighed heavily on her sisters and made Cassie's actions even harder to bear.

Now 31, Cassie is back in Washington, living in Seattle with her daughter, and hoping to leave her past behind. After ending a difficult marriage, Cassie is back on her own two feet, the pieces of her life slowly but surely coming together. Despite the strides Cassie's made, she hasn't been able to make peace with her sisters. Karen, the oldest, is a busy wife and mother, balancing her career with raising her two children. And Nichole, the youngest, is a stay-at-home mom whose husband indulges her every whim. Then one day, Cassie receives a letter from Karen, offering what Cassie thinks may be a chance to reconcile. And as Cassie opens herself up to new possibilities - making amends with her sisters, finding love once more - she realizes the power of compassion and the promise of a fresh start.

A wonderful novel of perseverance and trust and an exciting journey through life's challenges and joys, Last One Home is Debbie Macomber at the height of her talents.

Sisterly love prevails.

The story brings hope that no matter what life brings you can survive it all.

predictable but a good listen

I enjoyed the reader's portrayal of the characters. Story was very Macomber but I liked it.

Great Book

This is a wonderful book. I enjoyed the twist and turns along the way. A must read!!

Great book engaging and eye opening

Playful yet bringing reality into it. Life is a journey with good and the bad times, hope, despair, and trust that the good will prevail.

Another fantastic book

I have listened to about six of Debbie Macomber’s books in a row and I absolutely love them on my drive to and from work. She is good in that you know they are going to be uplifting so you can just enjoy them. I am amazed that the books are well researched and have good observations. I like how that it addressed domestic violence and Habitat for Humanity - oh and the two sisters had their own problems too - nobody has a perfect life after all.

What an enjoyable book!

I enjoyed this book so much and hope there is an entire series by this author on this family. I want to know what happens next!!!

Exceptional book!

It was very close to my heart. Made me cry. I recommend it highly.
I hope you enjoy it very much.

Home indeed is where the heart lives

As with all of Debbie Macomber's books, the reader generally knows the ultimate conclusion. It is the journey to that conclusion that is truly amazing. Ms. Macomber can express human emotion as no other author can. You never want to put her books down and are a bit depressed when done. The reader identifies with each character and the narrator brings each to life. This is a 'must listen'. So many everyday life subjects are interwoven into this one book that ultimately solidify into the one common theme of the importance of love, forgiveness, family, and home.

Last One Home! Entertaining

I Loved it! The narrators was Great! The Book was very entertaining and has me wanting to the listen to the next one.
