Summary: Take a sentimental journey with Lottie and her friends.
Review: The first book I read by Terry Kay was Shadow Song followed by To Dance with the White Dog which also became a wonderful television production a few years ago. Now with his latest book, Taking Lottie Home, Mr. Kay capitaves his reading audience with a sentimental tale which not only evokes a different era but wholesome and well meaning characters with the very best of values. On a train home, two men recently discharged from a minor baseball team meet Lottie, a young woman with a questionable past. Ben returns home to his mother while Foster marries Lottie and they have a son and a good marraige. When Foster dies, though, it wa shis wish that Ben accompany Lottie home to her family to continue raising their son. But Lotties family and home life isn't conducive to raising a child so she returns to Ben's hometown where she spends time living with Ben's mother and also meets Ben's future father-in-law. And in a stunning turn of events, Lottie leaves these people who truly care about her but not before she also leaves a part of herself with them. This is a wonderful book which will intoduce you to some fine characters you would be proud to call friends if they lived in your town. Enjoy!!!!

Summary: A Beautiful Story
Review: This was my first Terry Kay novel and now I am going to run, not walk, to my Library in hopes that it will have all the rest of his works. I will not waste space summarizing the story as other reviewers have done a super job but I do want to say that there is something wrong with Oprah's opinion if she or whoever selects her book of the month if this one isn't selected in the very near future. I have read most of "her" selections and this is better than many of them. Another good one for those who like Southern settings is Home Across the Road by Nancy Peacock. I really hated for this one to end and would love a sequel based on what really happened to Lottie and her life after this one. Mr. Kay, where have you been all my life?????
