Produktbeschreibung
Can a move half way across the country be a blessing in disguise?Juliana is trapped between Opa and Mom: Opa doesn't understand why his daughter ever left home, and Mom is doing everything possible to not spend time with her father. Juliana has had enough! But with her parents always working and her best friend half way across the country, Juliana wonders who she can rely on for help. To soothe her feelings of despair, she turns to her great-grandmother's sketchbook. Elisabeth feels Tata's absence everywhere, especially at this important time in her life, her confirmation, when she becomes an adult in their church. But when schoolboys torment her younger sister because Tata has left their community, and Mammi mysteriously locks herself away in the shoemaking workshop, Elisabeth has no choice but to seek help from the very people Mammi despises: Tata's family. As both girls begin forging new bonds with family they've become closer to only after those life-changing moves so many months ago, they ask themselves: can something positive come out of something that at first seemed so devastating? Missing Home is the sixth book in Lori Wolf-Heffner's contemporary/historical series, Between Worlds. For those who love history, the arts, and family ties, pick up a copy of Missing Home and enjoy a story that crosses generations.
Autorenporträt
Lori Wolf-Heffner is the author of the young adult series Between Worlds and the sweet romance series Love on Belmont. Inspired by her great-grandmother's story, Lori wrote and published Between Worlds 1: The Move in 2018. In this series, girls strive to grow up according to their dreams. Whether Juliana today is still trying to discover her life's goals or Elisabeth in 1920 dreams of fulfilling her community's expectations of her, it's up to them to decide what paths they want to follow. In 2020, Lori wanted to branch out into a series for adults that would still have connections to her favourite neighbourhood and even to Between Worlds. Books and tea went well together, but she knew that basing a series in a real but very small location like Belmont Village came with a high level of responsibility: readers might assume that what Lori wrote about had actually happened in real life. She approached the owner of All Things Tea, the real tea shop in Belmont Village, to ensure she could create a fictional tea shop in a romance series. She was given the green light, and Love on Belmont was born.Lori was an inaugural member of the Canadian National Tap Team, wrote and submitted a Star Trek novel in her teens (it was rejected-she needed an agent), and spent one day twice in Luxembourg and 15 minutes once in Switzerland. She can also do cartwheels.
