Publisher Description
All roads lead to home. It’s easy to go through life believing that we can satisfy our longing for home with a three-bedroom, two-bath slice of the American dream that we mortgage at 4 percent and pay for over the course of thirty years. But ultimately, in our deepest places, we’re really looking to belong and to be known. And what we sometimes miss in our search for the perfect spot to set up camp is that wherever we are on the long and winding road of life, God is at work in the journey, teaching us, shaping us, and refining us—sometimes through the most unlikely people and circumstances. In Home Is Where My People Are, Sophie Hudson takes readers on a delightfully quirky journey through the South, introducing them to an unforgettable cast of characters, places, and experiences. Along the way, she reflects on how God has used each of the stops along the road to impart timeless spiritual wisdom and truth. Nobody embodies the South like Sophie Hudson, and this nostalgic celebration of home is sure to make even those north of the Mason-Dixon line long to settle in on the front porch with a glass of sweet tea and reflect on all of the people in our lives who—related or not—have come to represent home. Because at the end of the day, it’s not the address on the front door or even the name on the mailbox that says home, but the people who live and laugh and love there, wherever there might happen to be.
Customer Reviews
Home is Where My People Are
I read Sophie Hudson's book in one day when it came out in April 2015. I'm sooo very late in writing my review.....hence the "summer must-read" nickname. She writes from the heart and in what I like to call "how we talk as real people" language. I must admit to being incredibly biased as I call Sophie my friend of 30 years; but trust me, give the sample a look over. You won't be disappointed when you purchase the book. The book's a wonderful read of growing up (we're never really finished, in my opinion) with your friends, family, and faith. Enjoy!
Didn't want it to end
This is a great book that I didn't want to end. Love Sophie's ability to take you to the time and place she is writing about. She makes the reader feel like your there.
Love!
Absolutely loved this book!! Hilarious, and southern, while telling stories of family and faith. I wish she had more than 2 books out!
