Coming Home

Through narrative, personal essay, and poetry, author Lori Vos tells a story of redemption, recounting her painful and terrifying childhood, her decision to leave her family, and the path that brought healing from surrogate mothers, friends, communities, and her loving and supportive husband. Vos came to realize that her greatest desire was for home, a place where she could be safe and held in loving arms, a place where she knew in her bones that everything was and would be all right. At the center of that home was a deep relationship with God, making home a place where she could realize the words of Matthew: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matt. 11:28-30). Coming Home is a beautifully told memoir by a writer whose inspired words and graceful phrases sing and soar through the heavens, then return to earth, to our home, gifting us with fortitude, comfort, and love.
