About this listen

“It’s funny how going back can get you back to where you belong. It’s the difference between just a melody and my favorite Christmas song".

The fireplace is lit, the snow is falling, and sleigh bells echo in the distance - it’s Christmas, and it’s time to come home.

Thirty-five-year-old Heath Sawyer has finally made it to the big-time as a country music star. After a year full of the kind of success he could only dream of, it’s December 23, and he’s headlining a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. It’s only as the lights on the stage go down and the Christmas lights outside come on that Heath realizes there’s just one place he wants to be for the holidays: Back home in Okmulgee, Oklahoma.

But journeying anywhere on Christmas Eve is never easy, and with flight delays, inclement weather, and the unexpected company of a feisty young woman who’s about to become his traveling companion, Heath will need a Christmas miracle to make his way home in time to open presents.

Filled with touching anecdotes inspired by the real holiday memories of Blake Shelton and Dorothy Shackelford, Time for Me to Come Home is a sweet and funny story that celebrates the spirit of Christmas and the true meaning of finding your way back home.

Sometimes the best gift on Christmas is sharing it with the ones you love.

Cute with a side of Cheesy


I love romances when one person is famous and the other has absolutely no idea they are. And I love meet-cutes where something that is normally super awkward happens and the person who does it acts like it's no big deal. Here, Cara literally runs into someone at the airport and he spills her coffee all over her shirt. The only thing she has to change into is an ugly Christmas sweater and the closest place to change is the mens bathroom, where she meets Heath.

Heath and Cara end up both flying from New York to Oklahoma and they keep running into each other through layovers, delayed flights, unexpected hotel stays and alternative methods of transportation while the midwest is battling the worst snowstorm ever. Then they decide to make the rest of the trip together. The two of them make their way back to Oklahoma with unexpected detours, the world's smallest rental car, and Christmas Eve at a truck stop. When the two of them finally reach Oklahoma, Heath drops Cara off and heads to his mothers home, where he realizes he forgot something… or someone.

MacLeod Andrews is a new narrator to me. It took me a minute to get used to his voice, but I came to enjoy it. He gave me Matthew McConaughey vibes at times.

Cheesy but wonderful!

If you love Hallmark, this book is definitely for you! It's cheesy at times, but that's what I love about Hallmark Christmas stories!

Beautiful Christmas story

I loved this book! Not even Christmas but the sentiment was touching. Ideals we need to embrace all year long.
Writing my second book and hope I can be as successful.
