I always look forward to Carolyne's new stories, and Seeking Home did not disappoint.
This story, set in the Canadian ranching community of Rockyview, is centered around the last child of the Bond family still on the family ranch. Tanner Bond has decided to sell the place, and take up business with his ex-father-in-law. The ranch's new owner just happens to be a former schoolmate, Sabine, who has returned, in success, to her hometown to put to bed bad memories of the loss of her own family's ranch and how she was treated by her peers. Tragedy and loss affect all the players in this story, and how those feelings all play out is the central theme of Seeking Home. This book is well named.
Carolyne writes characters who stubbornly hold on to the things that motivate them; Tanner Bond has not overcome his grief at the deaths of his wife and step-daughter, and his entire focus is on avoiding resolution of that grief. Sabine Radowski is a single mother who fiercely protects her young daughter, yet still yearns to come home and show everybody she no longer is the "Rag Girl", who was bullied and humilliated in her youth. Carolyne's story draws out all the emotions of these characters, as well as their familiy and friends who have watched these dramas wear the two down.
The way Carolyne writes these elegant interactions between characters is emotional to the reader. You feel the awakening of the relationship between Tanner and Sabine, as well as between Tanner and Sabine's young daughter. All of these characters need each other, and the tension in the story is about how they all navigate these budding relationships, as well as their relationship with their faith.
But, the central character of this story is the Ranch; how it provides hope and purpose to Sabine and her daughter, and how it holds on to Tanner while he is fighting his past to leave it. The hero of the story is the faith in God of both Tanner's grandmother and Sabine. Carolyne's descriptions of the ranch and its beauty are stunning, making the reader want to go visit, just for the views.
This book is worth reading. I highly recommend you do. I can't wait for the next installment.
