About this book
***Penny Parkes' brilliant new novel MAYBE TOMORROW is out now!*** 'Moving, hopeful and heartfelt... an ideal book group read' AJ Pearce, author of Dear Mrs Bird A gripping and heartfelt story about overcoming the past and finding where you belong. Anna Wilson travels the world as a professional housesitter – stepping into other people's lives - caring for their homes, pets and sometimes even neighbours. Living vicariously. But all Anna has ever really wanted is a home of her own – a proper one, filled with family and love and happy memories. If only she knew where to start. Growing up in foster care, she always envied her friends their secure and carefree lives, their certainty and confidence. And, while those same friends may have become her family of choice, Anna is still stuck in that nomadic cycle, looking for answers, trying to find the courage to put down roots and find a place to call home. Compelling, rich and evocative, Home is Anna's journey to discovering that it isn't where you settle down that matters, but the people you have around you when you do. 'I loved this warm and touching story about home, belonging, and finding your way in the world. Vivid, evocative and beautifully written, with a message of hope at its heart' Holly Miller, author of The Sight of Yo u 'Friends are where the heart is…I very much enjoyed this thoughtful and absorbing novel' Kate Eberlen, author of Only You 'A gorgeous, thoughtful read' Catherine Isaac, author of The World at My Feet 'Clever, warm and funny, Penny writes with a big heart, a light touch and supreme confidence.
