Book Description:  Debbie Macomber, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Blossom Street and Cedar Cove series, will win readers’ hearts with her utterly fresh and poignant new stand-alone novel.

In Last One Home, three sisters who couldn’t be more different try to repair old wounds—and discover that, through all the ups and downs of life, they remain family and can depend one another.

Wanda's Thoughts:  Last One Home is a very light and “comfy” read, but with strong family dynamics throughout.

Cassie had burned her bridges with her family, sisters, and past life. She had sacrificed everything that was important to her because she’d been young and foolish. She’d been a naive and rebellious teenager who’d been convinced she was doing the right thing by marrying the father of her baby. She’d lost all her self-esteem and pride and paid repeatedly through the years for her bad decisions.

And the story unfolds with interesting twists as Cassie and her daughter make a new life for themselves. Cassie returns back home to collect some leftover furniture from her parents’ home. And now, after all these years, she comes face-to-face with her sisters.

The author clearly understands the human heart as she tells this story of love, hope, and forgiveness. The endearing characters will capture your heart. Cassie was such an incredibly forgiving person, and her daughter Aimee was wonderfully portrayed and added sparkle and humor to the storyline. This is a deeply touching and beautifully told story with the sweetness of a new found love. 5 stars.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Goodreads as a 1st reads winner.
