Reviews

I love books about women and their groups. This is a fun read, full of romance, friendship, overcoming obstacles, and teaching the rest of us to be there for each other. We learn that it doesn't matter our different ages - we can all be what another needs. I love Rachel Ann Nunes books, and this one certainly does not disappoint. (See full review at LDSFiles.com.)

I've been admiring this book and wanting to buy it ever since I noticed it on the shelves and today I was finally able to buy it! Even though I was exhausted when I got home, I sat down and read it all in one sitting. Wonderful book! I hope there are sequels because I want to see where the characters all end up!

Reviews

Every once in a while a book comes along that touches something in all of us. For me, this book touched that little part of me that wonders sometimes where I would be if I'd made different choices in this life. But just as we are free to make the choice, we can't always choose the consequences. Fields of Home looks at the consequences of fateful choices and how it affects two families, two people, and one child. It is honest and deep, some parts of the book really reflecting the pain of "what could have been." I loved how Ms. Nunes weaves the theme throughout without becoming redundant or preachy.

It is about Mercedes Johnson, a woman who had a difficult childhood, who found love then lost it, and finally carved out a peaceful life for herself, her husband and her three sons. She's overcome so much in her life, forgiven and tried to forget, but one day a ghost from the past comes back to claim what he believes to be his---Mercedes' oldest child. Mercedes is a character that every woman can relate to, she wants to protect her family and her heart, but that little piece of her wonders, what if? She is forced to face the demons of the past, to search her heart, and to make a choice—a choice that will change the life of everyone she loves. It is gut-wrenching in some scenes and Ms. Nunes is really able to allow the reader a glimpse into the pain and indecision of her characters while making the story so realistic it pulls you in and doesn't let you go until the last page.

It is one of those books that makes you think, long after you've put it down, and I highly recommend it.
