The Color of Home by Kit ToselloMy rating: 💛💛💛
The Color of Home was a story focussed on the main character’s relationships with her family back in Oregon, and finding her path between the two internal struggles of what she thinks she wants and need to do, versus what she truly desires to do.
We also see the POV of Aunt Daisy, who after a full life with her husband, must adjust to retirement and taking care of a husband struggling with Alzheimer. I enjoyed seeing the fears and concerns which Daisy kept hidden from others and how events brought both Daisy and Abigail in line with God’s will for their lives.
Their was very limited romance, with the focus more on Daisy and Abigail and their growth through these trials and questions.

When Daisy enlists Audrey's help preparing for a move to assisted living, Audrey risks her career to return to the idyllic small town of Charity Falls, Oregon, the summer stomping grounds of her childhood. But Charity Falls was also the place that broke her heart when her father was killed in a tragic fire at the Sugar Pine Inn thirteen years ago. Despite Audrey's intent to avoid emotional entanglement, the pull of home is hard to resist. Something should be done about the deteriorating inn. A local girl with an incarcerated father needs a friend. And handsome local do-gooder Cade Carter is coloring Audrey all shades of uncertain.Join award-winning writer and debut novelist Kit Tosello in this lyrical and often humorous exploration of how God redeems brokenness and draws us to the life we're meant to find.
