Summary: A pleasant - enough read.
Comment: This isn't a book I would race right out and buy, but it is an easy flowing story, and interesting enough to keep you turning pages. Dianne Robbins plays Super Mom, raising a hopelessly and terminal child, taking in a foster child, working and being a single mom. The grandmother is kind of cute, she lives with Dianne, and makes a few happy appearances. The love story behind all this is a little strange. Dianne and Alan only had one date, yet they seem to have always 'longed' for each other. Dianne married Alan's brother, who left her pregnant when he found out the baby was severely deformed. Luanne Rice tries to convince us that Dianne hates Alan because of what his brother did, but it doesn't wash real well, and the outcome is predictable. And throwing in the part where the deformed child has her say kind of puts a fakeness on the whole story. I hated the ending, I think you will too. I got the feeling that the author had to end it in a hurry and used whatever means available to do so. But it's okay. If you are bored and nothing else is around, you might like it.

Summary: Soooooo Touching!!!
Comment: This book will take your breath away! The characters were written so well, I felt like I knew them myself. Dianne is an incredible person, the unconditional love she gives her daughter Julia, who was born with birth defects. Her strong heart for over coming the blow of her husband Tim leaving her when Julia was born. If I could have had a word with Tim myself, I would have blown him out of this world! At first when I started reading this story, I thought, "This is so cheesy", but man, I changed tunes about half way through the book. Amy's character will warm your heart and take you by surprise as well as Lucinda. Even though the story is really about Dianne and Julia, the others fit in so well and make it seem so heart warming. I have to admit, Alan, Tims brother almost seems to good to be true. Get your tissues ready and enjoy a heart warming story. The end will simply make you cry - Julia's Story. Some how I felt so much better about how Julia felt and what she really understood after I read the ending, you will absolutely close this book and think about it for days, It is definetly a story of "Following the Stars Home",as difficult as it was, Dianne did, she followed her heart!!!

Summary: Amazing!
Comment: This was my first Luanne Rice book. I told all my friends, run, don't walk, to the library or book store to pick this up. This book was so good that you really felt for the characters, you felt like you were pulling for Dianne and Alan to be together. You wished her mom were your mom.......mine was wonderful like Dianne's, but she's gone now. I just loved it. I can't wait to read more Luanne Rice books!! This book leaves you wanting a sequel. A definite feel-good book, and I see it was a movie too. I'd like to try to find it in the stores!
