This is the first book in a new series, Finding Home.
Jen Turano is on my list of favorite authors. She’s able to infuse such depth into her
characters, and the story is always well written. In the past, she’s focused more on historical
fiction, so I was a little wary of this contemporary story. In my experience, when authors I love change
direction, it’s a toss-up whether I end up enjoying it.
Margo has gotten overwhelmed with the pop star life and run
away from California. An encounter with
a duck (I know, it sounds strange but stay with me) lands her in an Amish
community in Ohio. She doesn’t want to
be recognized, but the people in this town don’t recognize her as a pop star,
they see someone else.
Brock has taken leave from the FBI to investigate the death
of his sister. He doesn’t believe she
committed suicide and is determined to discover the truth. The problem is, he’s not finding
anything. He comes across Margo and
wants to protect her. He feels like he
failed his sister, but he’s determined not to fail Margo.
I don’t want to say too much about the main story, because I
don’t want to reveal any of the secrets.
Without knowing any of them ahead of time, it will let you discover the
truth along with the characters, and I think that’s the best way to read this
story.
First off, I have to commend Turano for changing
directions. I didn’t know if I would
like this story, but her characters and ability to tell a great story had me convinced. I loved both Brock and Margo, along with
Gabby and Mrs. Hershberger.
There’s a lead-in at the end of this one that’s going to
have you dying to read the next book about a woman named Raven. I’m pretty sure you’re going to want to read
this one before the next one, just to get the background, but I can’t say for
sure. Turano is a great writer, and
maybe she’ll have them be able to be read separate. Regardless, I recommend this book. It’s awesome, and I can’t wait for the next
one! Great Book!
