    my point of view for Writing Home by Amy Anguish

    February 4, 2021 in my point of view

    Christiana Jones dreamed her whole life of living in Huntsville, Alabama, so she can’t figure out why it doesn’t feel like home. Her relationships—on social media and in real life—seem shallow and empty. When she unearths a stack of her grandparents’ letters, it spurs an idea. Could she find something deeper with a penpal?

    Jordan White is taken aback when his cousin Tina suggests he become penpals with her childhood best friend. What could a Louisiana boy have in common with a girl two states away? After all, he’s happily settled on his family’s property and working the job he always wanted. But every letter they exchange has him wishing for more.

    As they grow closer through their written words, the miles between them seem to grow wider. Can love cross the distance and bring them home?

    my point of view:

    Who hasn’t been frustrated with social media at times? I mean not another cat playing the piano gif, really? And do not even get me started with the political memes we have had to deal with forever now! I can totally see Christiana’s point of view!

    Call me old fashioned, but I have always enjoyed letters and cards. I have tons of cards from my hubs that I treasure, and many from friends and family….but who would think of starting a penpal relationship with a total stranger? Ingenious idea!  This story really touched me, I so enjoyed the letters they exchanged, and it made me want to send a letter to someone asap, lol! This was such a lovely story, and it is so nice to be able to see two people get to know one another without all the tension that can come from dating, what should wear, is my makeup okay, where do I take her for dinner, is this movie too weird, etc, etc. I think everyone should have a time of connecting like this in a relationship! Oh, and there’s a bonus recipe in the story too! You know how much I like to learn new recipes!!

    I highly recommend this captivating novel for everyone!

      I like to receive cards and letters, from what my cients tell me, so do they, as quite a few like to receive the birthday cards and Christmas cards I mail! It’s nice to know someone took the time to actually write a card!!

      I have always loved sending and receiving cards. It is like sharing your heart with someone else…In today’s world with texting, a special card or thought means so much!!! I also save my very special cards, they are precious to me!…Would absolutely love to receive a copy of your book. I am always looking forward to reading a new author I have not read yet! I only read print books as an ebook is too hard on eyes.

      I always love to both write and receive letters, cards and notes. I have done the card ministry to the sick and shut in at church.

      I have always loved to write and receive letters. When I moved away from my home town my sister and I would write each other and see who could write the longest letters. 100 pages. I’ve also written letters in long distance relationship. I love a letter you can hold knowing your loved one has held it and can read it over and over again.

      I like to write letters to family and friends with the hope that it will lift their spirits to get some “happy mail “ in their mailbox.
      I don’t write near as many letters as I should!
      Thanks for the chance to win the book.
