Follow the Stars Home

In her remarkable novel Cloud Nine, Luanne Rice explored the complex ties among family members and loved ones. In her newest tale, she returns to the heart of the family in a novel of a mother's love, courage, and finding strength in forgiveness.Being a good mother is never simple: each day brings new choices and challenges. For Dianne Robbins, being a devoted single mother has resulted in her greatest joy and her darkest hours. Weeks before her child was born, she and her husband, Tim McIntosh, received the news every parent fears. Tim had not reckoned on their child being anything less than perfect, and abruptly fled to a solitary existence on the sea. Dianne was left with a newborn -- almost alone.It was Tim's brother, Alan, the town pediatrician, who stood by Dianne and her exceptional daughter. Throughout these years of waiting, watching, and caring, Alan hid his love for his brother's wife. But Dianne has chosen to close her heart toward all men -- especially those named McIntosh. It will take a very special twelve-year-old to remind them that love comes in many forms, and can be received with as much grace as it is given.Rice, Luanne is the author of 'Follow the Stars Home' with ISBN 9781568958644 and ISBN 1568958641.
