    About this audiobook

    When she learns that her husband is missing in action during World War II, a desperate young wife decides to give up their baby daughter for adoption. By the time she learns that her husband is still alive, the infant belongs to a wealthy couple. Kyle has never been told that she is adopted. But she has always felt that she doesn't quite fit in with her class-conscious, affluent parents. Now, nearing adulthood, the young woman begins a search for love and acceptance--a journey that will lead Kyle to a new family--and a new faith. Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn are the best-selling authors of The Meeting Place and many other inspirational novels. Here, they combine their talents to create a heartwarming story of discovery and forgiveness. With Christina Moore's sensitive narration, Kyle's spiritual quest becomes even more touching.

      Beautiful story! Amazing narration. I found myself attaching quickly to the characters. The story gave me nearly everything I love, including a happy ending. It wasn't fluffy. These people seemed real and relatable. Having grown up in Maryland, I loved hearing about the places between Baltimore and DC.

      With her husband off fighting in the Second World War, the last thing a woman like Martha wants to receive is one of those dreaded...telegrams. But its arrival leaves Martha with a heart-wrenching decision to make—one that will profoundly impact a number of lives in the years to come in Another Homecoming by authors Janette Oke and T. Davis Bunn.It's been over twenty years since the first time I read this book. My return to it was purely for comfort reading, and even with the way that I and my preferences for Christian Fiction have changed over the years, sheer comfort is what I got from reading this a second time.It's a gentle drama, somber and grave in different ways but also infused with nostalgic Americana and, ultimately, hope.I wouldn't call the novel perfect, as some aspects are a little overdone, oversweet, or redundant. Some of the characters could have used more dimension, especially the key villain. Also, the story may tell about the heroine without showing enough about her, as she largely seems to be a rather passive part of the story until the last fifth or quarter.Even so, books don't have to be perfect to give me a meaningful experience, and there are reasons why this serious, warm, and life-affirming novel has remained in my memory. Though it's unlikely that I'll revisit the sequel, I'm so glad to have read this one again.

      I did enjoy this book very much. I think this is the first Janette Oke book that I've read.Oke describes with eloquence the hollowness of a life lived without a belief in Jesus. Her characters resonate with depth of spirit or with the futility of a life lived without that underpinning. Her descriptions of Martha, Harry and Joel, of Kyle, of Kyle's mother, of Kenneth - are very recognizable to me. Actually, this little book helped me to think through some important issues.
