“Terry Kay’s best novels have always happened when Kay himself falls in dazzling love with the characters he is creating. When his engagement with those characters is total, he creates worlds where love sets all the rules, makes all the appointments, and breaks all the hearts. This is Terry Kay country. Terry has never created a woman he loves more than Lottie Lanier. Taking LottieHome is his best book.”
