A Heart Like Home
Welcome to the A Heart Like Home by Christine Nolfi Book Tour hosted by Suzy Approved Book Tours.
About the Book
When Nova Doubeck is asked to foster two children, she can’t say no. With her own childhood wounds healed by adoptive parents, Nova understands the rewards of a caring guardian—even an impermanent one. But nine-year-old Henry and his seven-year-old sister, Bella, are more than Nova bargained for.
Combative Henry is at risk of becoming like his abusive father, Egan Croy. Timid Bella, clutching a tin box of treasures, cowers at the slightest noise. Yet Nova gradually earns their trust and affection as they bring unexpected love and joy to her guarded life. Now she can’t help but wonder: How will she stop her heart from breaking when the time comes to say goodbye?
As Egan aggressively battles to regain control over the children, Nova’s protective instincts prove just as fierce. In fighting to save Henry and Bella, she’ll unlock the secrets hidden in their past—and learn more about herself and the true meaning of family than anyone imagined.
Praise for A Heart Like Home
“A Heart Like Home tells the story of two children deeply traumatized by abuse and loss, and the emotionally closed-off woman who takes them in. An adoptive parent herself, Nolfi writes with flawless empathy and understanding about the ugliness of family violence but, more importantly, about the healing power of love and belonging. A perfect book club read.” ―Kerry Anne King, bestselling author of Whisper Me This and A Borrowed Life
“In A Heart Like Home, Christine Nolfi delivers a masterful plot brimming with family secrets, suspense, and tough choices for its engaging, believable characters. Perfect for book clubs, it will appeal to the reader who enjoys emotionally satisfying, top-tier women’s fiction.” ―Julianne MacLean, bestselling author of These Tangled Vines and A Storm of Infinite Beauty
It’s a Hit!
“Nolfi engages readers with her signature depth and wisdom in this emotional story of becoming family even when the odds are stacked up against you. A book that will stay with readers long after the last page, and a family who reminds us of what it means to be truly connected. This is Nolfi at her very best. A Heart Like Home is poignant and unputdownable.” ―Rochelle Weinstein, author of What You Do To Me
“Author Christine Nolfi at her best. A Heart Like Home is the emotional, riveting, twist-and-turn story of Nova, a single foster mother, and the two young siblings she comes to care for in a pinch. Sit down with this emotional tour de force and you won’t want to stand up until the last page. Five stars―more importantly, five hearts.” ―Marilyn Simon Rothstein, bestselling author of Crazy to Leave You
A story that grabs you from the beginning and keeps gripping to the end. Nova is a foster mom to teenagers but grants a favor to take Henry and Bella (9 & 7 years old). What follows is a story with secrets and twists to make it an emotional read that will touch your heart. Beautiful.
