Hey everyone! I'm back after an enjoyable two hours of looking at my other passion...daylilies!
Here are a few pictures of ours:
Alabama Jubilee
Minor-but-nagging setbacks continue to sour Grant and Audrey Whitman’s initiation into the world of innkeeping, but larger challenges brew when an innocent flirtation leads to big trouble for the Whitmans’ son-in-law, Jesse.
Jesse Pennington’s friendly, outgoing personality has always served him well, especially in a career that has earned him and his wife Corinne a very comfortable lifestyle. But Corinne and Jesse are both restless—and for similar reasons, if only they could share those with each other. Instead, too many business trips and trumped-up charges of harassment from a disgruntled coworker threaten their marriage and possibly put their three precious daughters at risk.

*Summary*
Jesse Pennington’s friendly, outgoing personality has always served him well, especially in a career that has earned him and his wife Corinne a very comfortable lifestyle. But Corinne and Jesse are both restless—and for similar reasons, if only they could share those with each other. Instead, too many business trips and trumped-up charges of harassment from a disgruntled coworker threaten their marriage and possibly put their three precious daughters at risk.
With their life in disarray, God is tugging at their hearts to pursue other dreams. Can Corinne and Jesse pick up the pieces of what was once a wonderful life before it all crumbles beneath them?_______________________________________________
*My Thoughts*
Hmm...what to say. I'll start with this:
Not for teens.
No, it is a really good book. Honest characters, real life story line, and most importantly, a great Christian message. The problem lies not in explicit content or anything crazy like that. Let's get real here, we've read Deborah's work before AND it is a Christian novel. Completely. It just deals with issues no teen or even young twenty year olds have dealt with.
With that being said, Deborah handled the touchy subject marvelously and I don't regret a second of my time spent reading it. I've already decided I'll probably regret my decision to donate it to my Church's small little library. Not because I don't like that book but now I'll have to buy my own copy! While it may not be for teens, I still enjoyed it, and I know adults will love it! I truly admire Deborah's bold decision to go deep in her fiction and loved reading it!

*My overall thoughts*
Two Roads Home by Deborah Raney is really an amazing story. If you're looking for sweet, honest characters, a great Christian undertone, and an author not afraid to go deep in her fiction, this is the book for you!
