Fifteen years ago, Cassie Madison left home and never looked back. The night of prom, she waited for her boyfriend Joe to pick her up, but instead a note was delivered to her. Cassie's sister Harriet and Joe left to elope. Vowing never to forgive her sister, Cassie left and had made a new life for herself in New York.
She's successful, beautiful and engaged. So when her sister wakes her at 3 am one night with a phone call, Cassie knows it can't be good. Their dad is dying and he wants Cassie to come home. She does, but seeing Joe and Harriett after so many years has passed brings back all of the hurt and humiliation. Getting to know her nieces and nephews is a bonus, but when Cassie's dad passes away and leaves her the house and everything in it, she feels trapped.
Doctor Sam Parker has always had fond feelings for Cassie and when the two are together, sparks fly. But Cassie is engaged, and has no plans to stay in town. Her home is in New York and she'll sell the family home if she has to in order to return. But when something happens that threatens the family's way of life, Cassie has a hard decision to make. Stay or Run again?
Falling Home is a poignant and captivating story. The characters are compelling, realistic, complicated and uplifting. This story captured my heart and the characters play across my mind, even after the last page. If you read one book this fall, read this one! I highly recommend it!!

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Falling Home deals with Cassie Warren who has run away from her small Southern town 15 years ago. She returns for her father's death and is instantly drawn into the small town lives of her sister and her family and former classmates. This is warm, well written book with laughter, love, tears and even a little mystery. Characters and plot were well developed and a very enjoyable book. Loved it! Carol McFarland, WI

Cassie Madison left Walton Ga. looking for herself & happiness. Little did she know the town & family she left had everything she was looking for & then some! Through the death of her father Cassie begins a journey that captures the reader & pulls them right into the story. Karen White is one of my favorite authors & Falling Home is another reason why. I highly suggest this book. You won't be dissappointed. Totally awesome!
