In her final book of her trilogy series, Ellen Gibson-Adler gives us a moving and unforgettable story that portrays the transformative journey of a military family ultimately forced to put down roots. The reconciliation and reckoning of the characters we have grown to love in the saga adventures o the Lyons family is buoyed by their humor, wit, and a determination to rise above the odds that stand in the way of these eccentric, talented, damaged, and lovable people.
Nelle swallows rejection and blooms in love, while her parents struggle to remake themselves after the realities of war and isolation shred their former selves. Cast as perpetual outsiders on an anchorless vessel, they fight to find footing on unfamiliar ground amid strangers. The love of a grandfather and the friendships that slowly evolve, deliver safety and salvation from a tumultuous past with abiding hope for promising expectations.
As Nelle and her family grapple with charting a future steeped in the turbulence of growing up and growing old, we embrace the successes and failures of these all too human characters. Through the lens of loss, the light of laughter, and the revelation of wisdom, and the peace of acceptance, comes a beautiful story of how forgiveness leads to the road to redemption and the power of love, no matter the age or station in life.
Above all trials and beyond all obstacles, follow the Lyons to the pride of home in the final book of the family saga trilogy.
If you are a fan of Jeannette Walls, Anne Tyler, or Tara Westover, this is your next great read.
