I just finished No Place Like Home by Barbara Samuel.  This was a very, very good book!  I shed quite a few tears as I was finishing it this evening, and that's something I seldom do when reading.  It's a great story about love.  Love for friends, family and  lovers.  I loved Samuel's way of writing!
