'Moving, hopeful and heartfelt... an ideal book group read' AJ
Pearce, author of Dear Mrs Bird A gripping and heartfelt story
about overcoming the past and finding where you belong. Anna Wilson
travels the world as a professional housesitter - stepping into
other people's lives - caring for their homes, pets and sometimes
even neighbours. Living vicariously. But all Anna has ever really
wanted is a home of her own - a proper one, filled with family and
love and happy memories. If only she knew where to start. Growing
up in foster care, she always envied her friends their secure and
carefree lives, their certainty and confidence. And, while those
same friends may have become her family of choice, Anna is still
stuck in that nomadic cycle, looking for answers, trying to find
the courage to put down roots and find a place to call home.
Compelling, rich and evocative, Home is Anna's journey to
discovering that it isn't where you settle down that matters, but
the people you have around you when you do. 'I loved this warm and
touching story about home, belonging, and finding your way in the
world. Vivid, evocative and beautifully written, with a message of
hope at its heart' Holly Miller, author of The Sight of You
'Friends are where the heart is... I very much enjoyed this
