In her first work of contemporary women’s fiction, bestselling author Kay Bratt draws on her own life experiences to create a raw, yet inescapably warm, novel about friendship and a wary heart’s unexpected capacity to love.
A hungry, stray dog is the last thing Cara Butter needs. Stranded in Georgia with only her backpack and a few dwindling dollars, she already has too much baggage. Like her twin sister, Hana, who has broken Cara’s heart one too many times. After a lifetime of family troubles, and bouncing from one foster home to another, Cara decides to leave it all behind and strike out alone—on foot.
Cara sets off to Florida to see the home of her literary hero, Ernest Hemingway, accompanied only by Hemi, the stray dog who proves to be the perfect travel companion. But the harrowing trip takes unexpected turns as strangers become friends who make her question everything, and Cara finds that as the journey unfolds, so does her life—in ways she could never imagine.

One of the things that I loved about this book was how Cara transformed before our eyes. She was weary of people and Hemingway too, initially in the book. As the book progressed and she continued on her journey, you could almost feel her relaxing and learning to trust. I loved the unconditional love that Cara and Hemingway had, the way they depended upon each other and protected each other. Cara became this strong, self-reliant, confident young woman who realized she has so much to give to others. I highly recommend you read this book and read Cara’s story for yourself.
I would like to thank NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for the advanced readers’ copy of WISH ME HOME by Kay Bratt.
The quality of people Cara meets as she travels across states opens her eyes to generosity from strangers, the depths of bonding with her canine traveling companion, attackers who care for nothing and nobody but their own cruelty, to landing in a safe place and with people who care, where there’s a possibility of a better future. Does she take the chance, or will she return to the drudgery she’s always known, and the catastrophe she believes she left behind? I loved everything about this story, especially Hemi, her loyal companion. Jaclyn Rosamond, author

Loved the story idea; an interesting premise. A young woman in some mysterious kind of trouble is moving cross country on foot, with under $300 in her backpack. She is found by a stray dog and they become inseparable.
What I liked: Interesting premise, and I love a story that includes a dog. Loved the people she met in the Georgia diner, the old man on the beach and everyone in Key West. Loved her home at Hadley House and the whole dog rescue scenario.
What I didn’t like: Too much reverie. Every time the story got moving, she harkens back to her childhood in foster care. I don’t doubt the trials and tribulations of our inadequate foster care system, but to be honest it seemed like very page Cara was whining about her childhood situation. The book could have been as good with just a paragraph or two of her childhood situation. Do I doubt that a set of twins could have been treated so abominably in foster care, or that it would affect every day of their adult lives? No I do not, but do I want to read it for pleasure? No.
Cara is damaged from her page gobbling childhood. She is hesitant, distrustful, and suspicious of everything. That got really old. I understand it given her childhood, but this is fiction and I could have done without all the constant angst.
Cara trusts no one, but oddly enough except for one homeless man, and a few teens looking for trouble, everyone she meets takes her home and treats her like a queen. That’s a little hard to swallow-not that there aren’t kind people out there, but rather that there are people willing to take home a strange young woman and her dog, no questions asked.

The story was both happy and sad, but with a powerful meaning centring around twins and their tubulance of going into the care system.
I would fully recommend this book.
