Nowhere Like Home by Sara Shepard

BOOK BLURB

When Lenna gets a call from her old friend Rhiannon, she is startled; Rhiannon disappeared years ago without a trace. But Lenna is even more startled to learn that Rhiannon has a son and that she lives off the grid with a group of women in a community called Halcyon. Rhiannon invites Lenna, a new mother herself, to join them. Why suffer the sleepless nights by yourself? It takes a village, after all.

Lenna decides to go and hopefully repair her relationship with Rhiannon, but as she drives into the desert and her cell service gets weaker, she becomes suspicious. Who are these women and why did Rhiannon invite her here? And that is before she learns about the community’s rules (no outside phone calls, no questions about people’s pasts) and the padlock on the gate that leads out to the main road. But Lenna has other concerns, secrets from her past she is terrified will come out. When a newcomer arrives in the community, Lenna’s worst fears are confirmed—she was brought here for a reason.

MY REVIEW

Lenna is contacted by an old friend she hasn’t seen in years. The friend lives in a commune of women and children, and invites Lenna to join them. Once she arrives, Lenna realizes she was brought there for a reason.

Nowhere Like Home is told using multiple points of view and alternating timelines. The multiple POVs was easy to follow and added to the story. Complex characters and an intriguing story.

Nowhere Like Home was a slow-burning read. Fans of Sara Shepard’s other novels are likely to enjoy this one too.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
