Anna Sullivan has spent the last thirty years traveling solo around the world as a nature photographer, and she’s loved every minute of it. But suddenly, the nights seem long and lonely, and she looks forward to her trips away from Bluebird, Maine and her sisters, Cee-cee and Steph, less and less. When a cruel twist of fate brings her back home, Anna reevaluates everything in her life. Can she … find happiness in the town she’s spent a lifetime running away from?
This is the second book in the heartwarming Bluebird Bay series, preceded by Finding Tomorrow, but can also be read as a stand-alone

I must say Anna is my favorite Character in this series. She has spunk, quick witty comebacks, and loads of sarcasm. Most of her interactions made me crack up laughing out loud.
I’m laughing, I’m crying it was such a wonderful book. I love how you fall in love with the characters and are drawn in to find out what is going to happen next to them.
This was filled with so many mixed emotions felt throughout. The characters and situations are all too real. Some tough times but all over healing and just beautiful.
This is the second installment in the story but also a standalone. It still features CeCe in the main story but really focuses on her sister Anna. Anna who is fiercely independent and thought that she preferred her life to be nomadic actually finds that life may indeed be better at home. Anna struggles to let others in but when she does she finds that love is close to home. There is also a small matter of a competition to win as well!
I was so excited about Anna’s story and I wasn’t disappointed at all.
What I love most about this series is that it’s a full family series each book may focus on one sister but we get the whole family effect throughout each story and I am really enjoying that.
I also love that the main characters are mature women it makes for a really nice change.
Was the story emotional well, yeah it was, it was also touching and feel-good and just really well written.
Finding Home focuses on Anna Sullivan and her life which includes her sisters and her aging father. This is the second book in the series. I really loved this book…and the first one as well. It’s real life. I found myself cheering at times and crying at times. Isn’t that the mark of great book? I love that the characters are “mature” ladies. I love that it is messy like life. I love that everyone isn’t perfect and yet the stories are so interesting and captivating. I can’t put these books down. I am also intrigued by the upcoming last book. I hope we will find out what Paul’s secret was and that Stephanie will get peace and closure. Five stars…I thoroughly recommend this series!!
I absolutely love this new series and specially this second book. Loved to be pulled back in to Bluebird Bay and live there for a while again. It really spoke volumes to me, my heart and soul! It had me laughing and crying a lot. More the latest – sad and happy tears both.
What I love the most of this book is that though it was focused on Anna’s story, we got to see Cee-cee and Stephanie’s stories continuations as well as Max’s. We got some serious glimpses on other characters too which explained lots of things from previous book.
I enjoyed every moment of this book with so many amazing relatable characters and real life complications which most of us are facing or some of our families are. I highly recommend to read this series, it’s so good! You just can’t put it down! So excited for Stephanies story unfold!
All the feels!!! I am not sure if what I am going through in my own personal life with my mother made this story hit home extra hard or what. I really loved this book more then the first.
This series has been a pleasant surprise for a thirty something year old to find a connection with the characters. Like I said with mother and daughter drama, health issues, and just over all life changes this book is so down to earth and relatable.
Can’t wait for the next book!
Another emotional yet perfect read!
The second book in the Bluebird Bay series, Finding Home, was just as amazing as the first book! This book will make you laugh and it’ll make you cry, or at least it made me cry, and that’s what I love about it. Books that tug at your emotions are my favorite kind and I feel like it shows how well written Finding Home is. This is written by two authors but just like the first book, it flows so perfectly you can’t tell who wrote which lines or section. I love the characters and their sister bond is just amazing and what I hope my sister and I continue to have in the future. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series even though it was a perfect stand alone book as well. I’m just not done learning about these wonderful ladies yet.
WOW!! What an amazing, heartwarming, funny and emotional book. I haven’t cried that much over a book in a while! I seriously cried throughout for various reasons, sad and happy, but so worth the tears. The authors just pull you right into the story and it touches something deep within. The issues the characters face in this book are real life issues that people face every day. I love that it realistically portrays the dynamics of a family, but that they are there for each other no matter what. If you haven’t started this series, pick up Finding Tomorrow (the first book in the series) and Finding Home now. I’m looking forward to the next book in a few months.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book.
What an incredible follow-up to Finding Tomorrow! Finding Home delves deeper into the lives of the Sullivan sisters, three strong middle-aged women who are faced with a multitude of challenges as they are finding their lives changing. Life can throw you some curveballs and Anna, Celia, and Stephanie face their fair share of them in this book. I love the dynamics of the people of Bluebird Bay. There are a lot of interwoven storylines to follow but they are well balanced and wonderfully written. As a middle-aged woman myself, I could relate to many of the situations within the book. One, in particular, hit very close to home and was a bit hard to read. I find this to be a good thing because it shows that the characters are likable and relatable. This is not a fluff book. There are a lot of strong emotions, hard situations, lovely relationships, some challenging people, tears, smiles, anger, and joy. Perfectly perfect.
You can read this as a stand-alone but do yourself a favor and start with Finding Tomorrow, then read this beauty, then join us all as we wait patiently for Finding Peace, which will be out later this year.
I absolutely loved Finding Home! The characters are so relatable and strong. It was wonderful to see CeeCee continue her growth and dependence. I loved seeing Anna’s story continue and unfold. I was very emotional reading about the sisters struggles which are very real life situations and problems. It is empowering to see the sisters growth, understanding, emotions, and strength. They are all learning to adapt and grow in new situations and with new roles. I am so excited to read more in Finding Peace!!
The Bluebird Bay series has been a rare gem in a sea of so-so summer reads so far this year! These stories and characters have stolen a piece of my heart! The Sullivan sisters are three fierce women who prove that life only gets better with age!
What I love most about this series is the realness and rawness these character present. They prove the love, fun, and adventure has no age limit. LIfe likes to throw these women curve balls and all three handle them with vulnerability and grace that is refreshing to see in the fiction world.
Anna takes the front in center in finding a home. The free spirit of the family who traveled the world and couldn’t stand to be in one place for too long. She has an accident while on the job that forces her to come home to her family to recuperate. It is during this time that Anna has to determine what she wants to do and where she wants to be in this new stage in her life. And this is what I loved is Anna own internal journey and struggles with who she was and what she wants to know. It’s so relatable and as we all grapple with these questions at various stages in our lives.
Anna had to come to grips with who she once was and who she is now and must learn that it is okay to want something different and that happiness and home is where you want it to be. It’s a heartfelt and emotional journey and one that I got take with this character.
The authors also did a great job of integrating all of the Sullivan family into this book as the many characters and storylines continue to develop and evolve in Finding Home. I loved getting the different POV’s and to learn more about this flawed but amazing family and can’t wait how their journey continues to play out in Bluebird Bay!
I am a mess after reading this book. I laughed and cried .. like ugly face cried, throughout the entire book. Denise and Christine has done yet another amazing job with this second book. I love how they continue to provide us with the point of views of each of the sisters (as well as Max), while still focusing the book around Anna. I have not read a book like this in a long time, where the characters are living a life similar to many of us. This series is no fairy-tale, but rather has real life situations that make you feel like you are living through it yourself. I am excited for the decisions that Anna has made regarding her life and future. And I am so happy to finally know why Maryanne was so mean to Anna all these years. There were a few things I took away from reading this book and that is communication is so important, being open and honest with someone is better than holding it in and pushing you further from them. Also, that no matter how busy you think someone is, they will always make time for you.
Finding Home is part of the series with the Sullivan sisters. It is focused mainly on Anna’s story but has all the characters I grew to love in Finding Tomorrow! I laughed and cried during the story and finished it in a little over a day. It was the perfect read for while we were on the road to a travel ballgame. I love the bond between the sisters! Having lost a sister, it makes me miss that bond we shared even more, but it also makes me remember the bond we had! I can’t wait for more from Bluebird Bay!
I am so loving these Bluebird Bay novels! The second book of this wonderful series features Anna Sullivan, the youngest of the Sullivan sisters. Anna is a bit of a nomadic photographer, traveling around the world on assignments. An unfortunate accident brings her back home to her sisters in Maine, where she discovers what’s really important in life. Finding Home is such an emotional, real life story that is beautifully written by the authors. I cannot wait for the next book to continue following this families journey of self discovery!
Bluebird Bay is quickly becoming one of my favorite destinations. Finding Home touches on many real life women’s issues in a deeply satisfying manner. While this installment is mostly Anna’s story, I thoroughly enjoyed that the story is told through the perspectives of all the Sullivan sisters.
Anna returns home nursing an injury and feels unsettled. She isn’t known for being a homebody but she’s stuck in Bluebird Bay for the time being. And things in Bluebird Bay have changed. Her sister Stephanie has taken on the responsibility of caring for their father, and with her injury Anna can’t really help. Her sister, Cee-cee, is busy with her cupcake shop and an upcoming contest, leaving Anna feeling a little neglected and restless. These characters have both heart and flaws. You cannot help but love them as they navigate the murky waters of family relationships.
If you enjoy reading women’s fiction with strong female characters and relationships then you don’t want to miss this story!
This book, just like the last, brought tears to my eyes. No, not the ugly cry tears, but the happy, joyful tears, and a little of the scared tears. This is the second book in the BlueBird bay series. It follows three sisters and their journey through the later years in life. I absolutely love reading this series. It’s new, different and it’s relatable. You can get caught up in the daily living, you forget that you need to do you as well.
This book is a reminder that you need to step back do the things that make you happy.
Finding Home is an amazing story about the Sullivan sisters and their very different journeys and difficulties that each one is facing. This story focuses more on Anna and her personal journey, but the authors include Stephanie and Cee-Cee and what’s going on in their lives as well. There’s some very emotional parts that are so well written that I felt like I was in the same room as the sisters and feeling everything that they were at the time. And those two men who have become important to the sisters? Swoon worthy.
My favorite part of the book is this quote “So if you find yourself stuck- no matter how old or young you are- you can still find your way. It’s never too late for a second act.” That is just great advice for anyone and everyone
Sometimes you just need a feel good read and that’s exactly what you get with the Bluebird Bay series! Finding Home is the second book in the series and while it chronicles the youngest sister Anna’s life, you also get multiple other perspectives from the other ladies in the series. That’s one of my favorite aspects of this series; each book focuses on one sister’s quest to really find herself, but you continue to get a story that keeps everyone else front and center as well. Bluebird Bay is such a charming town and it’s always fun to be immersed in the atmosphere. This series just does such a great job of showing your life doesn’t have to end when you’re middle-aged. I find myself relating to the women of the series in different ways, despite being in my upper 20s. Finding Home was definitely emotional, and I had both happy and sad tears at time. I sure do love the addition of Mick and Beckett to the sister’s lives. Beautifully written as well. Give this series a shot!
Finding Home is a continuation of the Sullivan sisters’ journey. This book was mostly focused on Anna’s story. But it included a lot of the rest of the family. I love Beckett and Mick even more now! There were a lot of emotions and trials for the family. But it was balanced by some great and exciting things.
Spending time back in Bluebird Bay makes you feel as if you’re visiting your own hometown. It feels good and comforting. This book gave me sad tears and happy tears. It was well written, emotional, and sweet. Definitely recommend this series and I can’t wait for the next book!
I thought the first book in the series was just ok, but I enjoyed this book more. While it still mainly focused on Anna’s story, you also got snippets of Cee-cee, Stephanie, and Max’s lives as well. Anna gets some scary health news and she has to figure out how to deal with the before and after, Cee-cee continues on with her cupcake adventure, and Stephanie has to figure out how to deal with their deteriorating father. I thought that this book flowed a bit better than the first one did, but I still wish the chapters had “titles” with whose story we were following in that chapter.
While i’m still not the target demographic for this book, I feel like it can be related to easier with Anna’s health scare. I look forward to seeing how third book will wrap up the Sullivan sisters lives.
