Coming Home to You by Liesel Schmidt: This is the coming of age story of Zoe Evangeline Trent at 24 her whole world has 23267665-2stopped around her. She thought she had it all, a good job, a nice apartment, and the love of her life. Then shortly after becoming engaged it all changed and Paul, her fiancé and love, passed away from a brain aneurysm. After that she was numb, in the going through the motions but completely not living kind of way.

This is the story of how that scared and scarred young 24 year old breaks out of that bubble and back into the real world.

This is a gritty story where Ms. Schmidt takes the reader on a journey filled with pain, loss, distrust and heartache. However it’s about regaining not just life, but the will to truly live. While it is a hard story emotionally to read, it is a quickly paced fluid story. In keeping with the story theme it’s pace is steady and designed to win your heart.

While there is a happy ending here, this is not a story designed on the outcome, but rather one designed on the journey.

When one door closes…

Zoë and her fiancé Paul had everything ahead of them. So when Paul dies suddenly, Zoë doesn’t recognise the life she’s left with. Helping a friend by housesitting for a stranger is the last thing she wants to do – but she can’t deny that she needs time away from the memories which crowd her flat. So, collecting the keys, Zoë lets herself into her temporary home.

…another one opens.

Surrounded by a stranger’s belongings – his toothbrush, his favourite records, the pictures on his walls – Zoë begins to build a picture of the flat’s owner, Neil, who is away in the military. Driven by a need to know more, Zoë begins writing to Neil and finds herself feeling an unlikely connection with him. But while some people are destined to share our lives forever, others are sent simply to help us on the way. And for Zoë, a new life is just beginning
