About this listen

From the author of Bitter and Sweet, an emotional love story about a woman who returns to the South to find her roots that combines the "vivid low country history" (Publisher's Weekly) of the Lowcountry with a story of love and family.

Home is not a place--it's a feeling.

Casey Black needs an escape. When her picture-perfect vow renewal ceremony ends in her being left at the altar, the former model turned social media influencer has new fame--the kind she never wanted. An embarrassing viral video has cost her millions of followers, and her seven-year marriage is over. With her personal and business lives in shambles, Casey runs from New York City to South Carolina's Lowcountry hoping to find long-lost family. Family who can give her more answers about her past than her controlling mom-slash-manager has ever been willing to share.

What Casey doesn't expect is a postcard-worthy property on a three-hundred-acre farm, history, culture, and a love of sweet tea. She spends her days caring for the land and her nights cooking much needed Southern comfort foods. She also meets Nigel, the handsome farm manager whose friendship has become everything she's never had. And then there are the secrets her mother can no longer hide.

Through the pages of her great-grandmother's journals, Casey discovers her roots run deeper than the Lowcountry soil. She learns that she has people. A home. A legacy to uphold. And a great new love story--if only she is brave enough to leave her old life behind.

The Thing About Home by Rhonda McKnight is a heartwarming inspirational romance about a woman who goes in search of her family and instead finds home. It's a standalone novel, making it a great pick for book clubs looking to explore and discuss the themes of faith, family, and self-discovery.

". . . a beautifully written story about family, self-discovery, secrets, and forgiveness." --Kimberla Lawson Roby, New York Times bestselling author

Like A Beautiful Tapestry!

This book is a beautiful woven story that I thoroughly enjoyed. There is a well fleshed out story and the narrator was perfect. Take my word and get this book of southern comfort with northern flare.

Lovely story of family roots that fills your heart with hope

The narrator’s voice was pleasant and matched what you would imagine the main character would sound like. Lovely story of family heritage and finding true love in the form of who you match with, where you live, and how you make a life. Loved it and will read again. Would make a great movie!!

Just meh

Way too predictable like a hallmark movie. I wanted to drop it halfway through but the historical storyline kept me kind of interested.

A Beautiful Coming Home

Rhonda McKnight writes a beautiful novel about finding family, and the intergenerational relationships that help to build a strong family. Her characters are believable and have true depth. On top of Casey and Granna's re-connection, we also get to go on Casey and Nigel's journey to finding love.

It featured my state, SC and some history on African American culture.

Good story and believable characters. I would like to see more books and audiobooks similar in nature to this one.
