""A Good Home" will delight your soul and touch your heart. There
is magic in these words "
--DEBRA USHER, President and Editor-in-Chief, "Arabella Magazine"
Cynthia Reyes glass is almost always half full, but ours, as we
read her uplifting story, brims over. "
--COLIN McALLISTER and JUSTIN RYAN, www.colinandjustin.tv
"A Good Home" is an addictive read, a profoundly emotional book
about the author s early life in rural Jamaica, her move to urban
North America, and her trips back home, all told through vivid
descriptions of the unique homes she has lived in -- from a tiny
pink house in Jamaica and a mountainside cabin near Vancouver to
the historic Victorian farmhouse she lives in today, surrounded by
neighbors who share spicy Malaysian noodles and seafood, Greek
pastries and roast lamb, and Italian tomato sauce and wine (really
strong wine).
Full of lovingly drawn characters and vividly described places, "A
Good Home" takes the reader through deeply moving stories of
marriage, children, the death of parents, and an accident that
takes its high-flying author down a humbling notch. Its pages
sparkle with stories and reflections on home as:
A foundation on which to build connections with children,
relatives, and friendsA place to celebrate the joys of elegant
design, overflowing gardens (except for the wisteria vine, which
"cannot" be coaxed into blooming), and the sharing of good foodA
wise teacher, showing us who we really were -- and who we really
areWhen this brave, clear-eyed, and honest book returns, full
circle, to the way it began, readers will want to read it all over
again.
