Kerry Lonsdale, the author of “Find Me in California” has written a captivating and intriguing novel. The Genres for this novel are Family Life Fiction, Women’s Fiction, Domestic Fiction, Friendship and Fiction. In this well-written novel, the author vividly describes four characters with their own stories to tell, and weaves them into an emotional and memorable book. I appreciate how the author discusses important topics such as the importance of family, friendships, honesty, communication, forgiveness and second chances. The author also mentions the importance of self-worth, self-esteem, and taking an emotional journey to find oneself. Other important topics are dementia and Alzheimers, alcoholism, and drugs. I like the para-normal feel of certain situations in this novel.
Julia Hope and Matt Gatlin both have aging grandmothers in an assisted living home. Julia has always been loved by her grandmother, and Matt has been ignored by his grandmother. Both were brought up by their grandmothers. Currently both grandmothers are in the same assisted living residence, and seem to have secrets. Julia and Matt are not aware that both grandmothers knew each other. Julia is a volunteer at the facility and has sent Matt boxes from his grandmother. Matt has been contacted by the facility to come and take care of financial arrangements for his grandmother. Julia works at several jobs to help keep her grandmother at the facility. Matt leaves to go to California to take care of this, and has several detours on his way.
Julia finds an old diary that sheds light on many situations. I loved everything about this story and highly recommend this to other readers.

It’s heart-wrenching and heartwarming all at once. A story full of family secrets, loneliness, self-worth, love, loss, dealing with grief and estrangement…While the story is told through Matt and Julia’s POV over the course of 6 days, we also get to learn the connection between their grandmothers, Ruby Rose (Magnolia Blu) and Liza, and how the actions of two unlikely friends weaved a much larger web of secrets.I loved this journey and while there is drug use and other heavy subjects, I believe these were all written with deeper meaning and truly make this story pull your heart strings and emphasize the purpose of love and life.𝓛𝓲𝓯𝓮 𝓲𝓼𝓷’𝓽 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓽𝓱 𝓵𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓲𝓯 𝔀𝓮 𝓭𝓸𝓷’𝓽 𝓪𝓵𝓵𝓸𝔀 𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓿𝓮𝓼 𝓽𝓸 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓭 𝓲𝓯 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮…🤫family secrets🔢multiple POV✌🏻dual timelines❓mystery🫶🏻romance🏡found family
