I feature mostly self-published and smaller press authors on this site. It’s my way of helping to give them a bigger audience (even though I’m very small in my reach), but also to share what books I’ve enjoyed, authors I like, etc. Most of the time I am reading these books myself. But sometimes there’ll be a “bigger name” author who puts out a book that I want to share too. One of those times is today.
Susan Mallery has numerous books out in a few different series. I’ve only recently started reading her work. Well, mostly listening. Tanya Eby (also an author, see this review) narrates the audio and they’re great to listen to. I’m currently reading the first book in Mallery’s Happily, Inc. series and I’m enjoying it. Read the 2nd recently and another from a non-romance centered series. I’m excited to share this release with you, knowing it’s likely to be another great read.
I still have to buy my copy (might get myself to Target at some point soon to hunt for a signed copy), but if you’d like a copy of When We Found Home, you can find many places to do so below.
Happy reading!
Life is meant to be savored, but that’s not easy with no family, limited prospects and a past you’d rather not talk about. Still, Callie Smith doesn’t know how to feel when she discovers she has a brother and a sister–Malcolm, who grew up with affection, wealth and privilege, and Keira, a streetwise twelve-year-old.
Callie doesn’t love being alone, but at least it’s safe. Despite her trepidation, she moves into the grand family home with her siblings and grandfather on the shores of Lake Washington, hoping just maybe this will be the start of a whole new life.
But starting over can be messy. Callie and Keira fit in with each other, but not with their posh new lifestyle, leaving Malcolm feeling like the odd man out in his own home. He was clever enough to turn a sleepy Seattle mail-order food catalog into an online gourmet powerhouse, yet he can’t figure out how to help his new sisters feel secure. Becoming a family will take patience, humor, a little bit of wine and a whole lot of love.
But love isn’t Malcolm’s strong suit… until a beautiful barista teaches him that an open heart, like the family table, can always make room for more.
In this emotional, funny and heartfelt story, Susan Mallery masterfully explores the definition of a modern family–blended by surprise, not by choice–and how those complicated relationships can add unexpected richness to life.
