Where the Heart Is | 
Novalee smiled then at her seventeen-year-old self turning on the other side of the rain-streaked glass and she tried to hold her there. But the girl spun away into the light, the place where her history began.

A bit of a stretch I think 🤷🏻♀️

Novalee Nation, seventeen, seven months pregnant, thirty-seven pounds overweight—and superstitious about sevens—shifted uncomfortably in the seat of the old Plymouth and ran her hands down the curve of her belly.

pickI absolutely loved this book! I laughed, I cried, & I can‘t wait to watch the movie again because it‘s been a few years since I‘ve seen it. The movie is a fairly faithful adaptation. The characters in this book remind me how important it is to just be kind to people. How you think you may not be very important sometimes but all it takes is a little kindness to change a person‘s life. It‘s been added to my favorites shelf. 5⭐️ Highly recommended!
I love this movie and just realized it was based on a book. Novalee just had her baby in a Walmart and is in the hospital. I dunno if it‘s cause it‘s late and I‘m super tired, but I just laughed like an idiot for 5 minutes straight after reading this part. 😂😂😂 The next paragraph is even worse lol.

Love this so much!
My six word story right now would be:
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.
No explanation needed. Story tells it all.

An hour ago, seventeen-year-old, seven months pregnant Novalee Nation was heading for California with her boyfriend. Now she finds herself stranded at a Wal-Mart in Sequoyah, Oklahoma, with just $7.77 in change....

Such a great discovery that book was. I had no idea what I was reading when I started but I really loved it, love the characters, I really got into the story. An original story, different, that makes you believe in good people.

Book haul from the library book to buy sale! This pile doesn‘t include the ones I got for my kids. (Ok maybe the paolini series I technically bought for my son)
There's a quote about books in the wild finding homes by Virigina Wolf I think. These came home yesterday from a very rainy trip to Shipshewana at a booth where all the good will donations for these books went to an animal shelter! 😍😍
“Wait up,“ Benny GoodLuck called. He was running toward her, carrying one of the little buckeye trees. “Here. It's for you. “
“For me? Why?“
“For good luck“ He put the tree down in the handicapped parking space.
“Oh Benny. You knew what I wished for.“
“Yes, ma'am. I did.“
I, too, was a teen mom; but I never encountered the same struggles. This gift is small, but very heartwarming. He showed kindness when she needed it the most.
Home is Where the Heart is is one of my favorite movies and i have never read the book😒 So when I found this gem at the Bookends Bookstore in Myrtle Beach for $6 I had to buy it. Say hello to my new beach read. #MyrtleBeach #SummerReading
I have done so much cleaning this weekend - too much - but then this morning while cleaning out the future mini library, on our overflow bookshelf I found the tagged book that I recently accused my mother in law of taking when I saw it at her house 😂 Now I have to eat some crow and tell her that it‘s not my copy and please don‘t send it to me. Good book though, you should read it 🌪📷

Day 5 of #AdventRecommends. I read this book quite a few years ago and loved it! I always love a good story with strong women characters and this one is one of my favorites. If you haven‘t read it, you should give it a try.
Read this many years ago about a teenager who gives birth at a Walmart. It was also a movie. Oprah chose it for her Book Club. I was just thinking that the abundance of celebrity book clubs that are now part of the reading world, started with Oprah and her love of reading. Kudos to her! #pregnant #septemberdanes
This book was on a list of #beach reads, perhaps because it‘s an Oprah book or maybe because it‘s a mostly heartwarming book (with some definite dark moments along the way) or maybe since the MC is a woman who overcomes obstacles to “.find a family” and build a life for herself. In any case I enjoyed it. The movie streamlines some of the characters and plot lines but is otherwise pretty faithful to the book.

The books of Billie Letts have down and out characters carrying alot of baggage that come together to create to create love and family together in unusual circumstances. I loved them all.

“The only thing worth living for is the good. That‘s why we‘ve got to make sure we pass it on” (291).
I found this copy of Where the Heart Is at a library book sale. Someone (initials look to be JKB) wrote a full letter inside it to the person who had this book. The letter writer talks about realizing he/she had lost something and finally figured out what that was...trust. And the letter writer was giving the gift of trust to the one he/she gave this book to. Makes me wonder why the book was given away.
