Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned and Rae struggles to end the relationship. As her world collapses around her, she turns to poetry and her best friend to cope and discover the true meaning of love. I believe the line “where light shines, darkness disappears” fits the book’s theme perfectly. Even through all of her troubles, Rae never gives up on hope. This dark contemporary read speaks to a wide audience. If that’s your style, Falling for You by Lisa Schroeder just might be “for you”.

A strong bond grew between the two children; that troubled Claire’s family, even as they opened their home to Roan. On a dark afternoon, tragedy and violence divided Claire and Roan, sending Roan far from the small, town of Dunderry, Georgia. A Place to Call Home is an enthralling story of love, loss and belonging. Roan and Claire’s journey to find one another again, and to find a place they can call home, is extremely moving- making this novel a wonderfully engaging read.
