great book- i read one of hers and went out to find the other 6 i have immediately.

I really enjoyed this book. I would recommend this book to everyone. If you have not read Luanne Rice yet don't start with this book. It was not her best but it is still worth reading.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The only problem that i had with it was that it stopped all the sudden and i wanted to know what happen.

The story of an extrodinary woman who raises an exceptional child on her own after her husband left her before the child was born. Blinded by despair it takes some time to understand that there are men in this world who care and are willing to wait. Luanne Rice is an excellent stort teller.

Good story about a single mother with a disabled daughter.

a novel of mothers, daughthers and the courage to love again.

Acclaimed novelist Luanne Rice "touches the deepest, most tender corners of the heart" (Tami Hoag, author of A Thin Dark Line). Her stories remind us how precious and fragile life can be—and that we must risk our hearts every day to know happiness. Follow the Stars Home is just such a novel: a story of poignancy and heartbreak, grace and courage.

Being a good mother is never simple: each day brings new choices and challenges. For Dianne Robbins, being a devoted single mother has resulted in her greatest joy and her darkest hours. Weeks before her daughter was born, she and her husband, Tim McIntosh, received the news every parent fears. Tim had not reckoned on their child being anything less than perfect, and abruptly fled to a solitary existence on the sea, leaving Dianne with a newborn—almost alone.

It was Tim's brother, Alan, the town pediatrician, who stood by Dianne and her exceptional daughter. Throughout years of waiting, watching, and caring, Alan hid his love for his brother's wife. But one of the many hard choices Dianne has made is to close her heart toward any man—especially one named McIntosh. It will take a very special twelve-year-old to remind them all that love comes in many forms and can be received with as much grace as it is given.

As lyrical and moving as the poetry of nature, Follow the Stars Home is a miracle of storytelling that will take your breath away. If words alone can dare us to confront our fears and to choose joy over sorrow, then Luanne Rice's magnificent novel is a benediction and a call to celebrate our lives.

Sometimes we find the family we are always meant to have.
