Leave the light on for me.
PORCH LIGHTS was a book
about caring, family, healing, and a book that will steal your heart in more
ways than one.
Jackie, recently widowed with a
ten-year-old son, decides to go back home for the rest of the summer to help
Charlie heal from the loss of his father. Many surprises await Jackie as
well as many decisions. One of the surprises is her mother. They never
did have an easy relationship, but her mother seems to have changed.
The characters were a nice mix of fun, intensity, loneliness, being loveable, and unique. The setting was very well described as well as the emotions of each character. You will cry, laugh, and even be envious of the family connection.
You will want to be part of the Britt family and live with them on Sullivan's Island. You will definitely want to share the delicious meals made by Annie, but you won't want to be Jackie who has a major life decision to make.
I have never read a book by Ms. Frank. She has an easy style and drew me in. This book was a pleasant read. 4/5

This book was given to me free of
charge and without compensation by the publisher and TLC Book Tours in exchange for an honest review.
This one sounds interesting too. You write very good, helpful reviews!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds similar to one of her other novels. I like the settings of her books.

Thanks for the comments on my reviews.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for stopping by.
I though this book was predictable but I didn't care because I loved the characters so much!
ReplyDeleteAnd....I didn't read this over night.
ReplyDeleteI had it waiting for the tour date, which was today. :)
I agree on predictable, but it was good.
I've been thinking for awhile that I should read something by this author. A library book, perhaps. That is my safe way to explore a new author.
ReplyDeleteI like books set on islands....
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Sounds like a lovely book.
