Shelf Control - Jan 16

Shelf Control is a weekly celebration of the unread books on our shelves sponsored by Lisa at Bookshelf Fantasies. Pick a book you own but haven’t read, write a post about it (suggestions: include what it’s about, why you want to read it, and when you got it), and link up!

Want to join in? Shelf Control posts go up every Wednesday. Here's how to jump on board:

• Write a blog post about a book that you own that you haven’t read yet.
• Add your link in the comments!
• Link back to Bookshelf Fantasies in your own post.
• Check out other posts, and…

Have fun!

I honestly don't recall this Kindle freebie, but doesn't it have a pretty cover?

BLURB: 

Angie Hunter left Hart's Crossing to go to college and never looked back. Working for a big city newspaper, she built a name for herself as an outstanding reporter. When Angie's widowed mother needs care following hip surgery, Angie is more than ready to hire a nurse rather than spend time in that antiquated little town. But when she is passed over for a promotion at the paper, an angry Angie heads home.

Little does she know that this homecoming is the start of some important, life-changing events. As she struggles to reconcile with her mother, Angie discovers that perhaps home is where the heart is after all.

DATE BOUGHT: 1/19/12 - Another one that has been on the device a long time. It had a different cover back then. I like this new one much better.

WHY I BOUGHT IT: I love stories about people who have left their little towns far behind and then are drawn--or pulled--back for some reason and realize how wonderful home really is.

Do you enjoy these types of stories?
