Book Description

September 2000

As the dim lights of the train station faded, Christine Bennett wondered if she would ever see home again. With the death of her grandfather, Christine experienced a deep loneliness she’d never felt before.

The words of his will rang in her ears: “In the event of my granddaughter’s death, everything will go to Vince Jeffers.” Jeffers watched her with an evil look that made her shiver.

Now, afraid of what might happen, she was obeying a note she had received saying she was in danger and must leave town immediately.

After escaping to the community of Baxter, Christine begins to piece together a new life. The love she finds there, along with newfound faith, sustains her as she faces the threat of danger.

From the Back Cover

As the dim lights of the train station faded, Christine Bennett wondered if she would ever see home again.

With the death of her grandfather, her only living relative, Christine experienced a deep loneliness she’d never felt before.

The words of his will rang in her ears: "In the event of my granddaughter’s death, everything will go to Vince Jeffers." During the reading of the will, Jeffers had watched her with an evil, self-satisfied look that made her shiver.

Now, afraid of what might happen, she was obeying a note she had received saying she was in danger and must leave town immediately.

After escaping to the small community of Baxter, Christine begins to piece together a new life. The love she finds there, along with newfound faith, sustains her as she faces the threat of danger.

From the bestselling author of Sophie’s Heart and Every Storm. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful encouragement!, April 17, 2001
By A Customer
Lori Wick is my favourite Christian author, and this my favourite book of hers! When a friend lent it to me, I couldn't stop until I owned the whole series myself! The first time I read this book, I too thought the relationships the characters had with God to be unrealistic but beautiful! From reading many more books and becoming closer to God myself, I know that this type of relationship is totally possible! This book is encouraging in all areas of christian living, and a lovely read.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this heartwarming and charming story of love, December 5, 1998
By A Customer
I first read this book when I was about 13 years old, from the first chapter I was totally hooked. This was a very heartwarming story full of love, romance, family, humor, and suspense. I've read many books, but A Place Called Home is by far the very best I have ever read. It really touched me. It's the kind of book you just can't put down and when your finished you can read again and again. This book will always hold a special place in my heart. Thanks Lori Wick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, May 18, 1998
By A Customer
This is Lori Wick's first book and she has just gotten better! This book is a simple love story between a man and a woman and - GOD! Lori Wick knows how to write a romance that is God-centered. She is my favorite author-I have all 18 of her books.
