My Review of Love Calls Her Home
This book was such a pleasure to read. First, I love books with horses, dogs, and kids in them, and this one had all three. Add a romance, a bit of mystery, two people who were trying their best to heal from past hurts, and a crisis near the end, and you have a home run! Lissa and Kurt were both sympathetic, strong characters, but the thing I loved the most about them was their love for eleven-year-old Jayden. The boy had a rough start at home and was running from a bad situation. The Lord brought Lissa and Kurt into his life, and in working to help him, their lives were also transformed. I really appreciated the research Pat did on the band of wild Kiger mustangs living on protected BLM land in Oregon–the filly they rescued that was a product of a stallion from that band, added a nice touch.
I can heartily endorse every aspect of this novel, and strongly recommend you get your hands on a copy soon! It’s the second book in the series, but each book can easily stand on its own.
Book Summary
Can a hurting boy help two broken people find their way back to love ?
Lissa Frye returns home from the Navy hoping to find a different future—one which includes a husband, marriage, and a family, until news from her sister impacts Lissa’s personal life and derails her plans.
Kurt McKintrick, having lost his best friend to an IED in Afghanistan, has returned to help the man’s mother run a horse rescue ranch. Images of war plague him, and thoughts of anyone else he might love falling victim to an untimely end, distance him from the person most likely to help.
Eleven-year-old Jayden Clarke seeks to fill the ache in his heart from his father’s death two years before. But his life is turned upside down when the rancher who befriended him is found dead, the horses neglected, and the dog missing. When authorities arrive to investigate, Lissa and Kurt, estranged after a former relationship, are forced to meet again. Lissa must confront images from her past and Kurt struggles to live with his present truth.
Will Jayden be the catalyst that draws Lissa and Kurt back together for a happily ever after?

I enjoyed this book by Patricia Lee and look forward to more. I particularly liked Jayden. He had been through a lot but he kept going.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Miralee.
Thanks for the great review.
This sounds like a book worth reading.
I am intrigued with wild mustangs. My sisters and I used to dream of adopting one.
I know what you mean, Becky. My daughter thought about that at one time, as well.
I know you love your horses, Miralee! 🙂 And as I know you’re a talented writer, I have confidence in your opinions, so I believe I’d enjoy this, too.
Thank you, Beverly. I appreciate your comments very much.
Well, good! I mean every word.
