Summary: Preachy
Review: If this book tried any harder to say self-important, warm, pithy points, I was going to scream! The editor had to have been asleep at the wheel here. Some good editing, especially of the moralizing parts, could have saved this book. Alas, too late.

Summary: An especially fine audiobook narration by Susie Breck.
Review: Luanne Rice's Follow The Stars Home receives a fine reading by Susie Breck, whose voice brings alive the story of a single mother who is abandoned when their daughter turns out less than perfect.

Summary: A Sentimental, Heartfelt Book
Review: Once I started this book, I could not stop, I read the whole thing in a day and a half. I saw the Hallmark movie first, but as usual, the book was so much better! The relationship between Tim and Alan had gone into much more detail, as the relationship with Amy, her mother and Buddy. If you're looking for a romantic book about courage and strength, read this one!

Summary: A book club favorite!
Review: Our book club chose this book from a list of others not being familiar with the author. It was definitely a favorite out of the 10 books we have read since the beginning of our club. Everyone felt a connection to the story and were unable to put it down. It is a quick read and when you're done you want to have another book to pick up immediately because you become so involved in the story and in reading - you hate to have it end.I would highly recommend reading this book. The ending is a blessing to all who read it!

Summary: ABSOLUTELY HEARTWARMING
Review: This book is a keeper. Diane faces some difficult times, he daughter, julia is disabled, and cant be understood. Julia finds a kindred soul, in Amy a girl whose the same age as Julia. Amy becomes dianes second daughter, and together Diane and Amy open there hearts to love, and friendship. Lucinda is a treat. The four of these young women embark on a vacation. The book ends with new love, of family, of the heart. Also, the understanding of a girl who cannot speak, but her brain certainly isnt impared, who watches the whole scene unfold like a flower, and memorizes, each loving memory she shares with her mother, her grandma, her friend, and the man she calls dad.

Summary: Heartfelt.....
Review: This book is not the typical novel that I normally read. I read it for something different than the everyday romance novel. I will most definately be looking for more books by Luanne Rice. This book was so real in the emotions that the characters portrayed. I truely felt for Dianne and Julia when I read how cruel Tim had been to them. I felt bad for Alan having to live and see the women that he loved week after week. I really felt for Amy, having a mother she loved, who didn't have enough self-worth to save herself to help the girl that she loved. I was happy to see that almost everyone got what made them happy in the end. Unlike others who read this book, I didn't shead a tear, but I felt the book was very heartfelt and the emotions real.

Summary: Soooooo Touching!!!
Review: This book will take your breath away! The characters were written so well, I felt like I knew them myself. Dianne is an incredible person, the unconditional love she gives her daughter Julia, who was born with birth defects. Her strong heart for over coming the blow of her husband Tim leaving her when Julia was born. If I could have had a word with Tim myself, I would have blown him out of this world! At first when I started reading this story, I thought, "This is so cheesy", but man, I changed tunes about half way through the book. Amy's character will warm your heart and take you by surprise as well as Lucinda. Even though the story is really about Dianne and Julia, the others fit in so well and make it seem so heart warming. I have to admit, Alan, Tims brother almost seems to good to be true. Get your tissues ready and enjoy a heart warming story. The end will simply make you cry - Julia's Story. Some how I felt so much better about how Julia felt and what she really understood after I read the ending, you will absolutely close this book and think about it for days, It is definetly a story of "Following the Stars Home",as difficult as it was, Dianne did, she followed her heart!!!

Summary: A Great Author
Review: This is my very first book to read from Luanne Rice. I am shocked I have not been introduced to her work sooner. This book is incredible. I just got finished with it, and I had to keep a box of kleenex by my chair. The very last chapter will have you in tears!! It was a great book, and I am looking forward to reading her other books.
