Home for Good by Jessica Keller

4 STARS

I could really see the characters were true. They were easy to understand and care about. The only thing I had a problem with was why she did not call the police right away when the sabatage was discovered.

Ali has raised her son by herself and now when her husband comes back after 8 years has a hard time forgiving him and trusting him. Ali runs the ranch and teaches handicap kids riding therapy program. Her mom is in a bitter, angry women in a care center dying on lung camcer. Now someone is leaving threats on her door,cutting fences,poison horses and other stuff. Her lawyer is a good friend from school and wants to marry her.

Jericho was a drunk and felt he was turning to be like his father. So he left his marriage before he hurt Ali. Now he is back after being away for years. He wants her back. Jericho has always loved Ali. He finds out she is a mother now to Chance. He wants to be a father to Chance too. Even when Ali denies that he is. Jericho has not had a drink in 5 years. He is now proud of the man he became.

Trip has always been jealous of Jericho. He wants Ali to divorce Jericho and let him adopt Chance. He was raised by a single mother and wants to help her.

Every time I think I know what is happening, then I think someone else is the one who is behind everything going wrong at the ranch.

This book has a few themes in it. Main one is forgiveness or bitter and angry choices we can choose. That God does not leave us alone it is us that leaves him.

This book had me sobbing in a few places. About a horse! animals are good friends and love us.

This is a clean read. It does mention God and scriptures but not preachy.

Chance is adorable little boy.

I was given this ebook to read and asked to give honest review of it in exchange by Netgalley.
