Book Reviews of Homesick : A Memoir

I love Sela Ward & have always enjoyed her acting. Getting to know more about her childhood was nice. She made growing up in the South sound so appealing.

Charming book - actress/author's rememberences of her southern home and family

Very very good book. I hardly knew who Sela Ward was other than an actress on tv shows that I had never watched, but I wound up really enjoying the book. I think my growing up in a small town on long Island, NY was not much different than growing up down south.

from the back cover. At a time when much of America is yearning to recapture the spirit and feelings of a more innocent era comes this exceptional book from one of our most beloved actresses: tyhe story of one woman's journey to reconnect with the landscape of her childhood. Though best known today as the Emmy Award winning star of the television series Once & Again and Sisters, Sela Ward considers herself at heart a small-town girl. When her world was recently rocked by a crisis--the death of her mother- Sela's journey home to Meridian, Mississippi became something far deeper: a turning point in her own life, as she pondered her mother's complicated legacy and came to terms with just what it was she herself was searching for. Filled with warmth, storytelling and laughter, Homesick is a book to treasure an exploration of the lessons we carry away with us from childhood, and a celebration of the bittersweet legacy of home.
