    About this audiobook

    An enriching and deeply moving novel about love and loss, the bonds of family and friends, and coming home by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids.

    Life didn’t turn out the way Jewel Sabatino planned. However long she’s been gone, home is waiting.

    At seventeen, Jewel fled Colorado for New York City and didn’t look back. Now she’s raising a teenage son alone and is a loving caretaker to her one true friend when she receives a surprising inheritance: her aunt’s Pueblo farm and one hundred acres of land. After decades, it’s time for Jewel to reconnect with everyone and everything she left behind.

    Her seventeen-year-old son, Shane, is finally meeting his relatives. Jewel’s soulmate, Michael, has a serene haven for his final days. And Jewel’s welcome back is one of a strong community embracing rich Sicilian traditions, three ebullient sisters preparing for a summer wedding, and a tearful and anxious mother with open arms. But for Jewel, it also means facing her father, who has never forgiven his favorite child for betraying him. And he may never forgive her.

    As Jewel’s emotional journey begins, an estranged visitor turns her life around again and could heal her wary heart in ways she never expected.

    Revised edition: This edition of No Place Like Home includes editorial revisions.

      Rich characters and descriptive scenes make this a wonderful book. I laughed and cried and felt like I was there. Loved this one!

      I love her writing. There is no place like home, but sometimes getting there is half the battle.

      The story of Jewel Sabatino who returns to Pueblo, Colorado, after being gone for 20-some years when she had left under a black cloud. The writing was good, but I could see exactly where the story was going at page 40, no surprises.
