Chronicle As Books Here, Home, Hope

Kelly Johnson becomes restless in her thirty-ninth year. An appetite for more forces her to take stock of her middling middle-American existence and her neighbors' seemingly perfect lives. Her marriage to a successful attorney has settled into a comfortable routine, and being the mother of two adorable sons has been rewarding. But Kelly's own passions lie wasted. She eyes with envy the lives of her two best friends, Kathryn and Charlotte, both beautiful, successful businesswomen who seem to have it all. Kelly takes charge of her life, devising a midlife makeover plan. From page one, Kelly's witty reflections, self-deprecating humor, and clever tactics in executing that plan--she places Post-it notes all over her house and car--will have readers laughing out loud. The next instant, however, they might rant right along with Kelly as her commitment to a sullen, anorexic teenager left on her doorstep tries her patience or as she deflects the boozy advances of a divorced neighbor. Readers will need to keep the tissue box handy, too, as Kelly repairs the damage she inflicted on a high school friend; realizes how deeply her husband, Patrick, understands and loves her; and ultimately grows into a woman empowered by her own blend of home and career.

"Endearingly honest, consistency upbeat" - Jenna Blum

Evaluate Appertaining To Books Here, Home, Hope

I have the privilege of giving those of you who have not read the book, Here, Home, Hope, by Kaira Rouda, a sampling of what you will savor should you make the wise decision to read it.First off, I will make a generalized comment, I dont particularly like chick lit. There, Ive said it. As a rule, that has always held true for me, but then I started reading some wonderful, funny, and moving novels by Jennifer Wiener. It was only after I read the first two or so of her books that I noticed from

Here, Home, Hopewas a lovely story about a woman's journey through finding herself. I think it's a story so many can relate to. Both those women who stay home with their kids,and those that are in the work force. The story moved along at a good pace, was enjoyable and easy to read. The reason I'm giving this book four stars is because towards the end, everything wrapped up far too neatly. I kept thinking, 'well isn't that convenient? And how perfect."I don't think in real life, with all the

A quick,entertaining read that delves into one woman's search for happiness; her coming-of-age requires honesty, 'work', adjustments and a Things to Change (T2C) list. The emphasis is on the empowerment of women, the importance of nurturing friendships and the need for women to support each others' desires and dreams, whatever they may be. After a health scare, lingering feelings of dissatisfaction and depression motivate Kelly to re-evaluate her life; something I'm sure we can all relate to. I

Here, Home Hope is the debut novel of Kaira Rouda and a thoroughly good read! Kelly Johnson is about turn 40 and finds herself with 2 boys going off to summer camp, weepy and wondering what to do with herself. Her neighbor's wife has left him with the kids and a house without any furniture. Another friend asks her to befriend her anorexic daughter and then takes off for parts unknown after dropping off said daughter at Kelly's. My thoughts: Here, Home, Hope is a great read. Set in 3 sections,

Here, Home, Hope by Kaira RoudaMy rating: 2 of 5 starsThis review is going to be a bit of a ramble, but that may be appropriate since the book was as well. I realize that I was reading an advanced reader's copy, but it read more like a second or third draft. Kelly is a mother of two teen/tween boys and is in the predicament of trying to 'find her purpose'. She makes an ever-growing, rambling list of Things to Change, or T2C as she puts it. I felt like this could have been a great book if her
