The Thing About Home by Rhonda McKnight

I really enjoyed this book! Here's my review: Wow! This is a fantastic book! Spanning two time periods it tells the story of two courageous and strong women. Odessa, a woman who put her dreams on hold but loved her family fiercely. She had advice that passed down to her great granddaughter- "The women before you could only dream. But I know they hoped for a better day for their daughters and all the women down their family line. Do me and them the honor of living your dreams so that our sacrifices will be seed that has fallen on good ground." 150 years later, Casey faces a horrible situation that changes her life. She ends up searching for herself and finds home. She realizes that her dreams have changed and she embraces the change. Along the way she finds family and love that change her life. I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
