Comments from Reviews of 'Back to the Homeplace':
" ‘Back to the
Homeplace’ is a beautiful story of family. I love family sagas and stories
about family secrets. Hence this book was a perfect read for me... I could
easily identify with the characters. If you've ever had a big family, you would
totally relate to them. Every character was so real. Their emotions, their
problems were very realistically presented. Each character was so well-defined
that I felt like I knew them."

"This family tree has
some branches that do not always seem to come from the same roots. When the
limbs are shaken, some surprises fall out. But despite themselves, most members
persevere, grow on their new home sites, or return to their former lives to
reassess themselves or make peace."

"This very intimate
story of one family, and how they manage to stick together through the thick
and thin of every day life, is one story you won't want to miss!”

"The characters seem
very down to earth and real, with problems that we all face, I found it
interesting that a few were addicted to Diet Coke, and would make trips to
Walmart to purchase it, for me it doesn't get any more real than that! The
descriptions of the birds, landscape and the Homestead in general were so vivid
that it is easy to visualize it, and at one point when the author describes a
vee of Canadian Geese flying overhead, I could just imagine hearing them
honk."

"This is honestly one
of the best stories about a family saga that I have read in some time. I also
found out that there will be a sequel, which is going straight on my wish list.
It's a high-ranking recommendation from me!"

times, the settings were all intriguing."

"The families are
realistic with normal family dynamics, and it is easy to care about what
happens to them. The reader understands how each character's personality - the
temperamental one, the team players, the loner - influences their role on the
property."

"I thought this book
had an amazing storyline. I started reading it and really couldn't put it down.
One of my favorite things about the book was the news blurbs at the beginning
of each chapter. I was only 9 in 1987 so I loved seeing what t.v. shows were on
and what music was big! It brought back a lot of memories from my youth… The
characters were very real in this book. The way their lives all twisted
together was captivating. The trials they faced were all very real."
