About A Kind of Homecoming:
1914 England
Stepping off the curb, nose buried in her anatomy book, Rose Maddox never saw it coming. By the time she looked up, it was too late to avoid the bicycle about to crash into her. Her saving grace was that the young man on the bike saw her first. Although he managed to swerve at the last second, she had no way of knowing how much this near-miss would impact her life.
Restless, Rose is searching for something beyond the country village she has called home for eighteen years. Her collision with this young German, Sebastian, is like a breath of fresh air. He is a kindred spirit, and they spend spring and summer blending their lives together, exploring the Yorkshire countryside on his Royal Enfield motorcycle. She finds herself falling for him, embraced in the glow of their love affair, imagining a future traveling the world.
A thousand miles away, storm clouds are forming and the winds of war sweep across Europe threatening to blow away Rose’s hopes and dreams like a cold autumn wind.
A story of quiet courage and a young woman’s search for happiness in the face of adversity.
“A Kind of Homecoming is a celebration of Historical Fiction!”
