Reviews for Home Before Dark

[wareagle78 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

When photographer Jessie Ryder is told she is losing her sight, she takes her doctors advice and goes to see the one thing she wants to see -- her daughter, given up at birth to be adopted by her sister. This warm story of love and pain and reaching out to one another was touching and worth the time to read.

Susan Wiggs has written another great story about family, relationships and the connection between sisters. Home Before Dark was well written. The characters were complex and interesting. The only reason I’m not giving this book a little higher rating, is I just didn’t feel the chemistry between Jesse and Dusty. They just got together to fast. I thought Dusty was a weak character. He seemed to pop in and out of the plot. We only learned about his past through the magazine article.
