About this eBook
USA Today–Bestselling Author: A “simply beautiful” novel of three lost people looking for the elusive paths that will lead them to where they need to be (Minding Spot).
Newly revised and expanded, including four recipes!
Joseph, in his late thirties, awakens disoriented and uneasy in a place he doesn’t recognize. He doesn’t know where he is and has no way to contact his wife. He sets out to find his way home with no sense of where he’s going and only the precious, indelible vision of the woman he loves to guide him.
Antoinette is an elderly woman in an assisted living facility. In the last few months, the world has seemed increasingly confusing. So she retreats inside her head. There, her body and mind haven’t betrayed her. There, she’s a young newlywed with a husband who dotes on her and an entire life of dreams to live. There, she is truly home.
Rene, Antoinette’s son, is going through the toughest year of his life. His marriage ended, he lost his job, and his mother has recently gone from hale to increasingly hazy. With too much time on his hands, he decides to try to recreate his memories of home by attempting to cook his mother’s greatest dishes and eat them with her.
Joseph, Antoinette, and Rene are three people on different searches for home. How they find it, and how they connect with each other at this critical stage in their lives, is the foundation for this profound and deeply moving story from the author of The Forever Year and Flash and Dazzle.
“Hauntingly poignant and beautifully moving.” —Coffee Time Romance
