Inary Monteith’s life is at a
crossroads. After a stolen night with her close friend Alex, she’s just broken
his heart by telling him it was all a terrible mistake. Then she has to rush
home from London to the Scottish Highlands when her little sister’s illness
suddenly worsens – and in returning she must confront the painful memories she
has been trying so hard to escape.
Back home, things become more
complicated than she could ever have imagined. There’s her sister’s illness,
her hostile brother, a smug ex she never wants to see again and her conflicted
feelings about Alex in London and a handsome American she meets in Glen Avich.
On top of that, she mysteriously loses her voice but regains a strange gift
from her childhood – a sixth sense that runs in her family. And when a voice
from the past keeps repeating, ‘Take me home’, she discovers a mystery that she
knows she must unlock to set herself free.
Take
Me Home is a beautiful story of love,
loss, discovering one’s true abilities and, above all, never forgetting who you
really are.

My Review:
This was a great book about one woman's struggle to find answers about herself, and her past. I absolutely loved the paranormal twist. I also loved the setting of Glen Avich, and would love to visit there. The author made the characters so lifelike that as I read about them, I could picture them in Glen Avich. Poor Alex. He was a victim of circumstance, and really did not understand why Inary did what she did. I cried about Inary's sister and it really tugged at my heart. I see my sisters every day, I can not imagine living so far away from them. I also thought that the author made a valid point when the main character had to listen to "inner" voices to set herself free (even if they are from a ghostly source). I also think that it was interesting when Inary lost her voice and communicated through writing. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
Vicky, so glad you enjoyed Take Me Home. It was a 5/5 read for me too!
