This is a nice book about nice people.
They also turned it into a decent Hallmark movie.
A woman, with a disabled child, is abandoned by her husband, but is making it alone (with the help of the husband's brother who of course becomes the love interest).
There is a girl, on the wrong side of town, who is more or less abandoned by her mother (family). The two get together and form a wonderful bond centered around the disabled girl. Really sweet book.

Follow the stars home by Luanne Rice
Have enjoyed all the authors other works and know this one will be great also.
Starts out with just after the accident and Diane is in the hospital and so is her daughter with a broken arm.
Then the story goes back to when Diane had brought her daughter to the doctor. The MacIntosh brothers-One is a lobsterman, the other a pediatrician, Allen.
Julia is disabled and her uncle is Allen. She knows her colors. Tim is Julia's father but he walked out on Diane and her. Diane is able to make fairy playhouses and still be home to take for Julia.
Story also follows Amy whose mother is an alcoholic and Buddy lives with them and is abusive.
Diane's mother Lucinda has retired from the library and was given money to go visit PEI with the girls. They will get a motor home so they can live inside of it while traveling there.
Love the travel and new words I've learned...emergency medical arises, will it draw them all together again?
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Not sure I'm sitting well with the ending. Although it gives the reader an idea of what is to come, it ends a bit abruptly for my taste. I did like the voice used for the last chapter and think perhaps it may have been used earlier in the story too.

I loved this book. It's the first book in a very long time that made me cry. I loved the characters and I felt the story really flowed well. The descriptions of the surroundings and the authors attention to detail were amazing without being too much. I will be thinking of this book for a while!

I really didn't like it at first, it started off very confusing to me and I was bored with the characters. As you keep reading tho it starts to make a lot of sense and I started to enjoy the book so much. The story had some great meaning behind it and I fell in love with Alan I was rooting him on the whole time I was so happy for them. Julia was a very fun and inspirational character as we watched her decline throughout the book. Overall this was a good book to read.
