Review

“Anne DeGrace is a gifted story teller and Far From Home contains some of her most intriguing characters. Thoroughly enjoyable.” (Paulette Jiles, New York Times bestselling author )

“Deliciously written.” (Owen Sound Sun Times (Ontario) )

“A gorgeous novel of coincidence and redemption, FAR FROM HOME will change the way you interact with strangers.” (Katrina Kittle, author of The Kindness of Strangers )

Book Description

After a shocking family betrayal and an unexpected pregnancy, Jo leaves home, college, and everything she knows. Far from home, she finds her way to Cass's Roadside CafÉ, an isolated diner on a mountain pass. Cass's seems as good a place as any for Jo to get her bearings, as near to nowhere as it is possible to be. Here, Jo finds a rough sort of kindness in diner regulars such as Archie, a long-haul trucker, and Bob, a cop with a secret. But Cass's is also a way station through which an odd assortment of travelers blow: the water witcher, coming to terms with a talent he'd denied; the old woman who expected to die, and didn't; and the hippie whose rule of the road is to let the wind blow him where it will. The stories of these strangers open Jo's eyes to life lessons, and what it really means to follow your heart—and, ultimately, give Jo the strength to face her past, and find the direction she needs to step into her future.

Amazon.com: 4.0 out of 5 stars (1 customer review)

4.0 out of 5 stars The Diner, Feb 17 2010
By Ruth A. Palguta "Ruthy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Far from Home (Paperback)
Far from Home was different from most of the books I read. The book kept your interest throughout. All of the characters were very colorful and would probably relate to people we know in our own lives. I did not like the ending. For me it left too many unanswered questions.
