Review of Finding Our Way Home

Finding Our Way Home by Charlene Ann Baumbich was a wonderful book about (mainly) two women Evelyn and Sasha.  Sasha is a forced-into-retirement ballerina suffering from multiple injuries from a terrible fall during a ballet performance.  Evelyn is the young woman, putting off going to college and recently engaged, who is working for Sasha doing odd jobs and being a live-in helper.

One of my favorite parts was how Sasha introduced Evelyn to pedicures.  I've only had one pedicure but did love it!  Evelyn is suprised too by how much she enjoys it, even trying unexpected nail colors.

This is a very enjoyable story of how the two women relate to each other and grow from getting to know each other.  They help each other through horrible circumstances and grow as a result.  They truly become friends.  One plot point is Sasha's snowglobe and this book is part of the Snowglobe Connections series but I haven't read the other books and didn't feel like I needed to or missed anything.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Multnomah Publishers. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
