Home for the Holidays

By: D. Allen

Narrated by: Tara Sitrick

After being guilted to come home for the holidays, Linda decides to make the best of it and spend some quality time with her mother... and the step-father that Linda has never been close with. As soon as she steps into her childhood home, Linda is greeted with memories and nostalgia that help her prepare for a week of her mother's hovering and awkward conversations with her step-father.

But just as Linda starts to feel comfortable in her childhood home again, her brothers arrive. The same brothers she hasn't talked to in three years. Soon, the adult siblings' bickering starts up just as quickly as the childhood nostalgia hit Linda when she arrived.

As they all slip into the roles of their former selves, the siblings agree to play nice to make their mother happy for the Christmas season. But as the week goes on, it becomes more and more apparent that they all have their secrets... including their mother.

Oh, the memories of childhood sibling rivalries!

I did eye rolls along with the characters! They worked through the baggage of childhood and found the love for each other that was always there. They just had to grow up to realize it. So relatable.
The reader did an excellent job capturing the characters’ personalities. Fun story for a road trip.

Excellent Narration

Super sweet story and excellent narrating! Highly recommend as a holiday read this upcoming holiday season! Loved it!
