Customer Reviews

Sadly underdeveloped characters

The book cover and the outside review caught my eye, but that was where the interest ended. Sadly I found this book while having a good plot to have totally missed on all levels of a good read. It was depressing as the only character who was even half way developed was one you would not like and then she killed off the only characters who were mildly likable. The writer did not develop her characters. I tried to plow through it, but finally just tossed it in the trash. This was the first book I have read by this writer and will probably be my last.

Falling Home is a Winner!

Falling Home is a heartwarming story about family and what matters most in life. Ms. White's writing style holds your interest right up until the last word, leaving you very satified but wanting more. I have read all three of her books and they just keep getting better. Karen White has written a winner! I couldn't put this book down.

It's never too late for love to heal.

Karen White writes from the heart to bring you a story of love and forgiveness when a young woman returns to her small hometown and finds that what she really wants and values in life is there and not in New York's distant avenues. You will laugh and you will cry as Cassie discovers true love with an old friend and builds new bridges over old hurts with her sister. Cassie is a modern heorine who learns that for her, being "keeper of the hearts," is the most important job she can have.
