Review: Jackie Weger is the Loretta Lynn of romance writers.

By the time I'd finished chapter one of Finding Home, I knew I was in the presence of a master storyteller--one capable of making a complex story seem simple on the page. The tale engaged me from the first sentence, and I was so absorbed with the action that I was unaware that I'd already been served a thumbnail sketch of every important character in the story.I defy you to dislike the main character, Phoebe Hawley. The down-to-earth manner that she deals with the low-hand she's been dealt reminded me a lot of Loretta's songs--all grounded in reality, but spiced with wit and a razor-sharp mind. I laughed along with Phoebe all the way through the novel.Yes, this is a love story, but a very different one, with a rich tapestry of sub plots and human observations that kept me reading way beyond my bedtime.Based on the short bio the author leaves at the end of the book, I suspect that Ms. Weger shares a number of attributes with Phoebe: feisty and never shy of speaking her mind, but closely connected with the important things in life.Highly recommended.
