I've read several books by Barbara O'Neal and loved them all, so I was very excited to read this updated version of No Place Like Home with writers edits. The story is beautiful and I could connect with Jewel and her relationships with her family, Michael, and Malachi. The underlying story of Jewels relationship with her father was an added layer that I wish we could have gotten more of.

It started off a bit slow for me and I almost put it down twice. I stuck with it the second half was wonderful. Honestly, not one of my favorite books from Barbara O'Neal, but a good read. This is why I'm giving it 3.5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
