The Color of Home by Kit Tosello

 

Audrey Needham, Bay Area interior designer to the rich and pretentious, is down to her last nerve. Her boss is impossible to please, her future is in jeopardy, and her great-aunt Daisy needs support as her husband descends into Alzheimer's.

When Daisy enlists Audrey's help preparing for a move to assisted living, Audrey risks her career to return to the idyllic small town of Charity Falls, Oregon, the summer stomping grounds of her childhood. But Charity Falls was also the place that broke her heart when her father was killed in a tragic fire at the Sugar Pine Inn thirteen years ago.

Despite Audrey's intent to avoid emotional entanglement, the pull of home is hard to resist. Something should be done about the deteriorating inn. A local girl with an incarcerated father needs a friend. And handsome local do-gooder Cade Carter is coloring Audrey all shades of uncertain.

My Review


 A read that is full of emotions, and how they are accepted. Can you go home again, a place full of memories, and great pain, but still occupied with love ones.

Amy is a talented artist and decorator, but her life is about to change when she takes time off from her job in the Bay Area of San Francisco, and heads to Oregon, and her family. Her Aunt and Uncle that raised her Dad, and she is soon mentoring a young girl

We are offered a lot in this read including some sweet romance, family, friends, and remembering.

This does become a page turner, with faith and forgiveness. I loved this book!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
