From Library Journal
Micah Winship is a successful journalist living in New York City, a troubled childhood in small-town Georgia far behind her. Her father's illness, however, brings her back to the home she had fled in fury and disgrace 20 years earlier in the wake of a family storm concerning Micah's growing interest in the Civil Rights Movement. Now, in this hot summer visit, the past encroaches on the present, and Micah is drawn back into the family politics and sexual drama of her adolescence. For all its psychological overtones of guilt, difficult love, and the burden of childhood scars, this novel is basically a romance, complete with white knight. The prose flows easily and creates an evocative atmosphere of summer in the Deep South. Laurie Spector Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright Index Project, Cambridge, Mass.

"Things are rarely as they seem." That perhaps sums up this wonderful book concisely. Micah (Mike) Winship returns home after a 20-year estrangement from her father who is now dying. Never being close to the man and long a "worldly" woman, Mike is looking to recapture a simpler life. She soon learns that the basic things she once eschewed (family, land, love) are the greatest aspects of life. She reconciles with the great love of her young life who is anything but what he seems. Mike's one-time beautiful older sister has her own plans for the future and the protagonist soon finds herself allying with the man she never dreamed she be close to and a mysterious outsider who plays his way into her trust and heart. This book will appeal to all romantics and those who are close to their family (or wish that they were). It is a novel of the heart and leaves you wanting more. This book will stay with you for a long time!

Ms. Siddon's did it again. A very powerful, interesting novel. It was one I couldn't put down. Thank you for another great Novel.

Of Home and Hope and Family
4. Oktober 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Somehow I missed this particular book when it came out, though I've been a Siddons fan for a long time. Interesting companion to her newest book NORA, NORA, with a similar pivotal character in virtually the same setting. This is a tale of coming home and discovering your history, with plenty of betrayal and love along the way. Micah Winship, works through a pretty awful childhood and becomes an award winning journalist, when her world collapses and she finds herself called back to Lytton, Georgia. Ms. Siddons is a Southern writer who can make you feel heat, humidity and actually breath the air along with her characters, who also breathe and live and languish. Excellent portrayal of the south with well sketched, believable characters. The story is thought provoking and hopeful.

Deeply Moving Story of Forgiveness
26. August 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Micah "Mike" Winship was going home to a place she'd fled in 1963 when her father had thrown her out. It's twenty years later, she's become an award-winning journalist, and has not spoken to her father in all that time. A plea from her sister, Dee Dee asking her to return and help with their father who was dying from prostate cancer and wanted to see her came at a point in Mike's life where she virtually had no other place to go. Mike's world was collapsing around her and she needed a place to go - to re-group, and pull herself together, even if it meant facing the man whose love and acceptance she had tried to gain during her awful childhood. What Mike finally discovers, after more betrayals, is the heart, soul and essence of the man she called `daddy' and a real place called `home'.
This was my first book by this author whose eloquence with the written word is so outstanding that she slips under the skin of the extremely well sketched characters and lets you breathe their air, and pump their blood. You will laugh, cry, and feel each emotion as the author sketches the life of a memorable journey taken by the youngest daughter of coming home again. Totally thought provoking and believable. This is an outstanding classic novel that I see why it has been resurrected and reissued for a new generation of readers to embrace!
