About this listen

Twenty years ago, Claire Maloney was the willful, pampered, tomboyish daughter of the town's most respected family, but that didn't stop her from befriending Roan Sullivan, a fierce, motherless boy who lived in a rusted-out trailer amid junked cars. No one in Dunderry, Georgia - least of all Claire's family - could understand the bond between these two mavericks. But Roan and Claire belonged together...until the dark afternoon when violence and terror overtook them, and Roan disappeared from Claire's life.

Now, two decades later, Claire is adrift, and the Maloneys are still hoping the past can be buried under the rich Southern soil. But Roan Sullivan is about to walk back into their lives....

By turns tender and sexy and heartbreaking and exuberant, A Place to Call Home is an enthralling journey between two hearts - and a deliciously original novel from one of the most imaginative and appealing new voices in Southern fiction.

LOVE this book, Love Roan Sullivan

This story is amazing, the exploits of Claire, as a child, and her love for the towns wrong side of the tracks boy.

Its amazing, the family and world building was awesome, but the narrator SUCKS. So bad i cant even finish the book, i had to go buy it. Which was money well spent.

For those saying its similar to Sweet Gum Tree, , THIS book came out 10 years before Sweet Gum Tree, so Ms. Smith is the ORIGINAL.

Have always loved this book!

I have read this book many times over the years, and listening to it for the first time was wonderful. Sometimes, you read books and characters that stick with you long after you are done. This book has always done that for me, and Roan & Claire have a special place in my heart.
