about the book
Three generations of women confront their pasts and discover it’s never too late for new beginnings in this heartwarming novel of second chances and unconditional love—from the bestselling author of The Shell Collector.
“In Home No Matter Where we travel to beautiful Whelk’s Island, where a close-knit community puts us right at home. Along the way we meet compelling characters caught in realistic storms and learn faith-filled lessons about weathering them.” —Denise Hunter, bestselling author of More Than Friends
Nina is at her wit’s end with her teenage daughter, Kendra. Still dealing with her own wounds of divorce, Nina hopes a change of scenery will help. She and Kendra head to the serene coastal town of Whelk’s Island to spend a restorative summer with Nina’s mother, Rosemary—bringing three generations under one roof for the first time in years. Amid the island’s charm, old wounds begin to heal, and as new friendships bloom—especially with the steady and enigmatic Fisher—light begins to break through the cracks of Nina’s tightly controlled life.
Kendra’s reckless behavior continues but Fisher’s intervention during a critical moment for Kendra sparks a sense of hope in Nina that she thought was lost. Still, change is never easy.
As the women navigate the tides of forgiveness, growing up, and letting go, healing begins and new love brings surprises. While Whelk’s Island may not hold all the answers, it has a way of reminding people that moving forward doesn’t follow a set path—it requires the bravery to start anew.

review
a sweet story of healing and home!
nina and her daughter, kendra, desperately need a change of scenery, so they head to the north carolina coast for the summer. there, while spending time with nina's mother and the life she's built after loss, nina and kendra just might find the peace to start rebuilding, too.
"sometimes you gotta stop worryin' if you're good enough and just be good."
home no matter where is a hope-filled story, as nina and kendra move through the challenges that come with life's unexpected (or unwanted) changes. there's definitely some frustrating moments, yet i liked seeing how they took advantage of the opportunities they found in the whelk's island community, too. it's a comforting place to spend a little time, for sure.
for me, the writing did feel a little simplistic or idealized, at times—but i did still have a good time with these characters and setting, overall. any reader looking for an easy, uplifting summer read could have a good time with home no matter where, too.
(this book is the third in the shell collectors series, and while there are references to the previous books, i didn't feel lost by not having read them.)
considerations:
—language: none
—spice: kisses only
—faith: mentions of prayer and church
—content: divorce, mentions of loss of a parent
