Book review – HOMESTEAD HOLIDAY

As is typical, I finished reading the ARC copy of Liz’s newest book, and always like to post it here for review. It’s sometimes hard to review a book without giving away key points – but here is my thoughts on A HOMESTEAD HOLIDAY by Elizabeth Bromke. I hope you’ll consider reading it!

The thing I love best about Liz’s books, and it’s true in Homestead Holiday, is the communication between the main and primary characters.  The conversations are true to life and deal with believable circumstances.  Both Liam and Molly have strong feelings about not only what is happening at Liam’s ranch but also in Molly’s classroom.  The struggles, relationships, and joys are all very real.  I also love the fact that Molly’s passion to teach Culinary Arts stems from her French grandmother, and her focus is heartfelt and all-consuming.  She wants to share her love for cooking and baking, and it’s important to her that her students, and the community, understand that passion. She wants them to share that passion within themselves, as well.  Liam also loves what he is doing, although he struggles with coming to grips with a personal tragedy and how it will affect his life moving forward.  Molly and Liam, their friends, family and co-workers, all come together to strengthen their relationships, have successful programs, and give back to the community and to each other.  We need each other, every day, and Homestead Holiday brings that to light and lights our way, as well.
