Who says you can't go home? You just have to want to. Marigold McKenize O'Malley thought she'd seen the last of her dull and boring hometown of Cordelia, Missouri when she packed her bags and headed for the bright lights of Kansas City. But several years later, as her art design business is floundering and her love life is going up in flames, Mari is pulled back home when her sisters call her to come home to help take care of her mother, who had suffered a heart attack. Reluctantly, Mari agrees and soon finds that she is her mother's new "Steppen Fetchit" girl, running errands, doing the laundry, ruining the garden. So she feels a certain sense of relief when she runs into Andy Eppelwaite, an old childhood friend and first-time lover, who now has his own landscaping business, or so she thinks.

As Mari and Andy renew their acquaintance and friendship, her parents decide to relocate to their lake cabin for the summer. When she discovers that Andy will be working nearby at a summer camp for problem children, Mari assumes that he is the groundskeeper. To her surprise, Andy is one of the camp's counselors, and a very well respected one at that. When one of Mari's nephews is sent to the camp to overcome personal problems, Mari becomes deeply involved with both the work at the camp, where she discovers a renewed interest in not only her art, as well as her beloved friend. Can she overcome a devastating former affair to find true love with Andy, or will Mari lose him to past memories and actions that neither one of them had much control over.

Author Jerri Corgiat closes out her trilogy of the O'Malley sisters in HOME AT LAST.

Poignant and heartfelt, the readers will find themselves basking in the warmth of Southern charm, close-knit family values, and a sweet, engaging romance that will bring a sigh of satisfaction.
