On Home

By: Becca Spence Dobias

Narrated by: Erin Spencer

When tragedy strikes, Cassidy, a cam girl living in Southern California, must return to the small West Virginia town she left behind. Cassidy likes her job getting naked for men on camera, though she prefers sex with women. She never came out to her family or friends back in her home state - not about her sexuality and certainly not about her sex work. Now, she must figure out how to hold on to the life she’s built for herself while picking up the pieces of her fractured family.

As Cassidy's story unfolds, we glimpse into the lives of the strong, complicated women who came before her: Jane, the sheltered daughter of farmers, escapes West Virginia for Washington, DC, to work as a government girl for the FBI during World War II, until a fateful mistake threatens her future. Paloma, a Fulbright Scholar, journeys to newly Westernized Prague - only to fall for an idealistic but safe man from West Virginia.

Though worlds and generations apart, all three search for meaning as they face impending motherhood and the pull to return home to rural Appalachia.

Refreshing look at small town West Virginia

Delightful and refreshing take on a perspective of the youth in our country and West Virginia today. It started off a bit rocky for me, but is an integral part of setting up the story. It’s good to be taken out of our comfort zones.

I could not stop listening!

A look at the complexity of mother-daughter relationships and the idea of what family is. I'm impressed by this author's first book, and hope to see more!
