In this enchanting novel set at Cedar Cove’s cozy Rose Harbor Inn, Debbie Macomber celebrates the power of love—and a well-timed love letter—to inspire hope and mend a broken heart.

Summer is a busy season at the inn, so proprietor Jo Marie Rose and handyman Mark Taylor have spent a lot of time together keeping the property running. Despite some folks’ good-natured claims to the contrary, Jo Marie insists that Mark is only a friend. However, she seems to be thinking about this particular friend a great deal lately. Jo Marie knows surprisingly little about Mark’s life, due in no small part to his refusal to discuss it. She’s determined to learn more about his past, but first she must face her own—and welcome three visitors who, like her, are setting out on new paths.

Twenty-three-year-old Ellie Reynolds is taking a leap of faith. She’s come to Cedar Cove to meet Tom, a man she’s been corresponding with for months, and with whom she might even be falling in love. Ellie’s overprotective mother disapproves of her trip, but Ellie is determined to spread her wings.

Maggie and Roy Porter are next to arrive at the inn. They are taking their first vacation alone since their children were born. In the wake of past mistakes, they hope to rekindle the spark in their marriage—and to win back each other’s trust. But Maggie must make one last confession that could forever tear them apart.

For each of these characters, it will ultimately be a moment when someone wore their heart on their sleeve—and took pen to paper—that makes all the difference. Debbie Macomber’s moving novel reveals the courage it takes to be vulnerable, accepting, and open to love.

Die Reise führt aber auch zu den Dreharbeiten am Filmset des großen Kinofilms "Die weiße Massai", wo ihre beeindruckende Lebensgeschichte an der Seite des Samburu-Kriegers Lketinga verfilmt wird.

Und sie trifft - quasi am Ende der Welt - den mutigen Pater Giuliani in seiner kleinen neuen Mission hoch in den Ndoto-Bergen.

"Es muss ein Leben nach Afrika geben", glaubt Corinne Hofmann nach Beendigung ihrer letzten großen Lesereise vor begeistertem Publikum. Sie nimmt sich eine "Auszeit", bereist andere Länder und findet dennoch immer wieder vertraute Erinnerungsbilder und Anklänge an ihre zweite Heimat, an Afrika.

2009 begibt sie sich auf ihren ganz persönlichen Jakobsweg, auf eine 720 Kilometer lange Fußwanderung im Norden Namibias. Fernab jeglicher Bequemlichkeit und Zivilisation, begleitet von einem Tourführer und Lukas, dem für die zwei Lastkamele zuständigen Namibier, durchwandert sie die Kaoko-Region und trifft dort auf das Nomadenvolk der Himba.

Nach zwei Monaten kehrt sie, um etliche Kilo leichter, mit der Gewissheit zurück: "Die nächste Reise wird mich wieder nach Kenia führen." Im Frühjahr 2010 landet sie in Nairobi. Hier taucht sie ein in die Gegenwelt der modernen, erfolgreich aufstrebenden Metropole, in den Alltag und das Leben der Ärmsten. Corinne Hofmanns Berichte und Schilderungen aus den Slums sind eine Hommage an den unbändigen Selbstbehauptungswillen und die ursprüngliche Kraft der einfachen Menschen in den Elendssiedlungen, in denen die Hoffnungsträger oft Frauen sind.

Der Wunsch von Corinnes Tochter, ihre afrikanische Familie kennenzulernen, führt zum Höhepunkt dieser reich bebilderten "afrikanischen Passion". Auf einer gemeinsamen Reise kommt es zur Begegnung und behutsamen Annäherung von Napirai mit ihrem Vater Lketinga, der verehrten Mama Masulani und den Halbgeschwistern in ihrem Geburtsland Kenia

You know that saying about how sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug?

It's true. Take me, for example. I shook the Georgia dust from my feet fifteen years ago,vowing never to leave Manhattan. I traded sweet tea for Chardonnay, fried chicken for nouvelle cuisine, lazy days on my aunt's front porch for ad campaigns and board meetings, and the guy who broke my heart for my handsome boss, who soon became my fiance. Perfect, right?

Until my sister called. We haven't spoken since I left home--because she married the guy who broke my heart. What's more, she called to say my father is dying--but he refuses to finish until I show up. So I'm back in the hottest, dinkiest small town in Georgia, facing my sister and my old boyfriend over the heads of their--count them--five children. It couldn't get weirder, right? Unless you count Sam Parker--a long-forgotten classmate, now the town doctor--and how good he's beginning to look to me.

I'm falling apart, I think, wondering why resentment
and wounded pride seem silly here in Walton, where forgiveness and acceptance go
hand-in-hand with homecoming. And I'm beginning to suspect that I'm falling in
love for real this time, with a man whose touch is so right, I feel like I'm...
Falling Home.
