The book jacket states that Ms. Watters at age 12 borrowed a romance novel from her older sister and later decided to write her own romance novels. I'm glad she did. This is an excellent well-written book - a quick read on a hot afternoon. The author certainly knows her animals. She could have been describing some of the many animals in our house when the kids were growing up - except for the pregnant ferret! I don't think we had one of those - at least I hope not. Some characters in the book are funny, wacky and familiar and found in any family. This is a book that can be read and enjoyed by all ages. I'll be looking forward to more books by Kim Watters.

Mix up one orphan lady, one kind vet and one ornery dog. Stir well with impossible situations and let love bake them all for a few months. The finished product will amaze you. Sarah, Grant and Rocky find love in Home At Last. Curl up with it on a nice fall day and fall in love all over again. Good job, Ms. Watters.

Have you ever read a book and felt like you couldn't connect with a character, on some or any level? Home at Last's author helps with that connection. Almost everyone, at some point in their lives, has experienced love, failure, discovery, guilt and compassion. She tells a story that is simple and unpretentious but its humanity and message of forgivenss is heart-warming.

This is a great read on a cloudy cold Sunday afternoon (there are many in Chicago). Although I've never classified myself as an animal lover, I loved this book and found myself not only interested in the lives of the two-legged characters, but the four-legged ones as well.

It's hard not to love a book that illustrates so well how the love for animals can change your life. Home at Last is a well-written, quick-read book. It makes you cheer for the underdog, cry at the disappointments but leaves you with a very happy, satisfied feeling in the end. I highly recommend this book.
