The Color of Home

DEBUT In a debut novel that fans of chaste contemporary romance will devour, Tosello brings readers the story of workaholic Bay Area interior designer Audrey Needham. When Audrey’s great-aunt and uncle call on her to help them move into a senior living facility, it is not a convenient time. Taking two weeks off to go home with them to Charity Falls, OR, could very well cause Audrey to lose traction on her upwardly mobile path, but the slow and neighborly pace of small-town life once she arrives in Charity Falls forces her to take stock of what is truly important. Facing her past and dealing with the trauma of her father’s accidental death, with the painful reminder of the derelict Sugar Pine Inn across the street, however, may take more courage than she can muster. Audrey’s unlikely friendship with a young girl whose father is incarcerated brings hard lessons of letting go and trusting God while also finding the unexpected blessings in trials.
