I have come to know and love Debbie Macomber's books over the years, mostly for her series of books: Cedar Cove, Blossom Street, Rose Harbor Inn. Last One Home, however, is a stand-alone book, independent of her series with brand-new characters.
Last One Home is the story of Cassie and her daughter, Amiee, as they work to build a new life together after Cassie decides to leave her abusive husband. While Cassie has two sisters, Karen and Nichole, she hasn't spoken to them since she ran off with Duke, her now ex-husband, many years before. She now finds herself in a place in her life where she needs her family and they need her and they reach out to one another in this touching story. Cassie also finds herself reaching out to a man, Steve, in Last One Home for the first time in a long time and this becomes as much of a struggle for her as learning to rely on her sisters once again.
Macomber's books have become some of my favorites because I always leave her books thinking that the world is a good place with good people in it. I do, however, always wish that I could read about these characters again (like, what happens to Nichole and Owen, or how does Garth's new career really work out for him, or how do Cassie and Steve end up?). I am a fan of sequels and perhaps that's why I love reading Macomber's books so very much. I always get to find out what happens next! If I keep my fingers crossed, maybe, just maybe, she will write a sequel to this book, too! You never know!
Last One Home is a wonderful book!
Happy reading, everyone!
