Big City Girl Finds Love in a Small Town

 

The Thing About Home by Rhonda McKnight Nain

Casey Black is a famous social media influencer from New York who is ready to renew her vows with her husband of 7 years, when he backs out.  She takes off for her deceased father’s small hometown to regroup from her humiliation and discovers the secrets of her family’s life that have haunted her.

This book is written from Casey’s point of view and chronicles her discoveries and personal growth as she learns more about her family’s past.  It includes a handsome potential love interest, a spunky centenarian grandmother and hordes of new relatives.

I do think the plot was a bit predictable, and would make a great Hallmark movie, but the characters were lovable, and it was written in an easy-to-read style.  Not too many authors that I read feature modern day people of color.  This book gave me a greater appreciation for the struggles that they overcame. 

Readers who enjoy women’s fiction will enjoy this story.  I am grateful to the publisher for the complimentary arc in exchange for this, my honest review.
