Publisher's Summary
A gripping and heartfelt story about overcoming the past and finding where you belong.
Anna Wilson travels the world as a professional housesitter - stepping into other people’s lives - caring for their homes, pets and sometimes even neighbours. Living vicariously.
But all Anna has ever really wanted is a home of her own - a proper one, filled with family and love and happy memories. If only she knew where to start.
Growing up in foster care, she always envied her friends their secure and carefree lives, their certainty and confidence. And, while those same friends may have become her family of choice, Anna is still stuck in that nomadic cycle, looking for answers, trying to find the courage to put down roots and find a place to call home.
Compelling, rich and evocative, Home is Anna’s journey to discovering that it isn’t where you settle down that matters, but the people you have around you when you do.

A worthwhile and enjoyable read
Loved the courageous young woman at the centre of this story. I appreciate the restraint shown by the author at the moments when the read had the potential to be disturbing ... I can't cope with such books. But she nevertheless demonstrated the vulnerability of the character and thus the importance of the supportive people she did have in her life. Beautifully read.

So satisfying!
The characters are so beautifully drawn that they feel like friends you never want to leave. Thought provoking with a fascinating story line that is richly rewarding. I feel like I already want to read it again and am now on the hunt to read more from Penny Parkes.

beautiful
what a lovely thing, a love story with no love interest, rather a journey of a woman finding her own path. sublime.

Disappointing
This book was less about housesitting around the world, & more about the drama of growing up in the foster system & her issues from that as an adult. I thought it would be more of a light, summer read. I found myself skipping ahead a lot.
