Take Me Home

Nothing disappears while someone remembers it.

Jane Carter paints portraits because she believes every life deserves to be remembered.

When an unexpected opportunity arrives, the future she has imagined begins to shift in ways she never anticipated.

Tender, quietly devastating, and deeply human, Take Me Home is a novel about memory, belonging, and the people who become home to us.

From the author

Take Me Home is not my story, and Jane is not me.

But pieces of me live inside every character.

I understand Jane’s need to create beauty in places that only she can see. I understand Julian’s habit of making room for everybody else until there is very little room left for himself. I understand Isla’s instinct to carry the weight of a family while quietly setting aside her own. And I understand Viktor’s way of loving, with his whole heart, even when words fail him.

This book is for the ones still trying to find their way home.

The whole canvas

Back, spine and front.

The cover wraps all the way round: the painting on the front, my name down the spine, and on the back, the reverse of a stretched canvas with its gallery label.

The full cover of Take Me Home laid flat: the back of a canvas with a gallery label, the spine, and the painted front cover.
