The Color of Home by Kit Tosello is a standalone novel about a woman named Audrey who must come to terms with difficult events of her past. The story takes place small-town Oregon. Readers will find romance and opportunities for introspection.
The story is sort of slow and sleepy like the town it takes place in, but the pacing is appropriate and feels right for the plot. This is one of those stories where the plot is not all about the main character verses a bad guy or trying to save a dying business. It is refreshing because it is about a character who has not fully dealt with difficult things in her life.
The author weaves in a lot of interesting peripheral characters. It makes the story more interesting and also teaches valuable lessons about learning to love and appreciate those around you. The book includes religious references as well.
