Wow! This book is amazing! The story line is unique and the setting is sublime! The imagery in the book really brought Abbott Island to life. The characters are realistic and relatable. Marigold is a strong and competent woman who is a little afraid to commit to more than friendship in a relationship. Johnny is swoon worthy! He's compassionate, loving and a good boss. He's eager to pursue more than friendship with Marigold but they both must come to terms with their hurtful pasts. I enjoyed every aspect of this book! It's so engaging that I read it in two days! My favorite aspect is the faith that is weaved expertly throughout the book! It was encouraging to read. I was provided an ARC copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. -Reader Jeanette Durkin

After reading Home Where She Belongs, the first Abbott Island book, I was excited to enjoy Marigold and Johnny’s story. The finished product was worth the wait. As lovely as one of Marigold’s crocheted blankets, this tale combines a forty-year-old mystery with the tender romance of these two 50-something people in a way that draws the reader into each scene and emotion. The never-ending ache of missing her father and wondering what happened to him kept Marigold from risking her own chances of romance in her youth, but Johnny is persistent and patient. I loved watching their relationship grow from friendship to sweet romance, and I ached with the parties involved as the mystery was finally solved The supporting cast of characters are realistic and likeable, and getting reacquainted with Joel and Sadie (from Home Where She Belongs) was a joy. I was given an ARC by the author; all opinions are my own. I love Home Away From Home and award it five stars. Recommended! -Author, Kathleen Friesen
