Hannah's Home

"WOW!!” Down on her luck, Hannah has nothing left but her horse. And by God, she's not going to let anything happen to him. No way, no how.... “Hannah’s Home” delights in this slice of life story about the hardships of the American farmer and the indomitable free spirit of a single woman. When Charlie leaves home one morning never to return, Hannah purchases a rundown fruit farm and is determined to succeed in turning the barren land into a profitable business. To support herself in the meantime, she sells homemade pies and styles “dead people's hair” at the local funeral parlor; where reverence and humor go hand-in-hand. Her horse Billy Bob, named after her favorite movie actor, is the foundation of her sanity. She relies on the minute details of his day-to-day care to keep her grounded. Pursued by a persistent man who is a sheep farmer by day and bartender at night, more than a deadly tornado is in store for Hannah. Love is in the air. “Hannah’s Home” is a step back in time where you’ll shop at second-hand stores and barter for the things you need, where hard work is the order of the day and Chili Night at the local Honky Tonk is a big event. Deals are still made with a handshake in Ridge Creek, a town where everyone knows where you live, where pretty is just plain pretty, and fun is kicking up your heels as often as you possibly can. This is a funny novel. This is a poignant novel. It is boisterous and yet quiet, and runs along the veins of “The Secret Life of Bees” and “Fried Green Tomatoes.” It is a victory dance. Book Group Discussion Points: Where does Hannah get her strength? Has she always been strong? Or is it a new-found strength? Is what you would want for Hannah, what Hannah wants? Why did Charlie leave? What did Hannah learn? What did Charlie learn? Do you believe in ghosts? Do you believe in fate?Read more
