Karen White’s Falling Home is a novel about coming home, or as the title suggests, simply falling back into it.
Cassie Madison left her home in small-town Georgia when she was twenty, and she’s never looked back. Estranged from her sister for the past 15 years, and seeing her father only once a year, she’s convinced herself that the new “Cassandra” is a better person. When she returns home for her father’s funeral, she begins to reevaluate her current life, priorities, and the stereotypes she’s made about her relatives and classmates who stayed in her hometown.
This is a novel about sisters and fathers, about growing up and moving on. I think many of us will see ourselves in Cassie or in her sister Harriet. I saw the plot twist coming, but I still enjoyed this fairly light read about self-discovery with a little romance thrown in for good measure.
Can you go home again? Would you want to? Read Falling Home, and you might be surprised how you end up feeling about it.

Sounds like a really good book. I struggle with the whole “going home” thing a bit, being married, and having been away from home for 8 years now. It can be tough, but it’s also nice to revisit the past, while creating a new future.
