When Olivia Ellison receives the call that she’s been named guardian of her autistic half-brother, Lucas, her first instinct is no. She’s got a thriving career in the New York city law firm where her father once worked, a place she’d always thought of as a second home. Moving to Greenwillow, Pennsylvania to take care of a brother she hasn’t seen in years? Not happening.

But when Olivia arrives in Greenwillow to turn down the assignment, she reconnects with the brother she’d forgotten and meets Nate Wilder, his charismatic caretaker, a man with a big heart and an even bigger secret.

Nate Wilder didn’t plan on being a caretaker. He’d planned on a prestigious life with an impressive career. Then “it” happened – the incident he never speaks of – and everything changed. Instead of seizing the day, Nate lives in regret. But when Olivia arrives, she brings with her a glimmer of hope.

As Lucas, Olivia and Nate traverse a new normal, they grapple with emotions of loss, anger, guilt, loneliness, and love in search for a sense of belonging. And home.

Book Blurb

“I feel myself disappearing from the present, fading away to the space inside myself where I always know what’s going to happen. And where it’s always safe.” – Lucas Ellison, age 18, autism spectrum disorder

Review for Home

This heartwarming gem snuck up on me and wrapped itself around my soul. Told from three distinct points of view—including Lucas, a non-verbal teen with autism—this beautifully written story offers a raw, honest, and ultimately uplifting look at love, sacrifice, and what it truly means to find “home.”

As a former Special Populations Director, this hit especially close to home. The author clearly did the homework, especially with Lucas’ perspective—his inner world is portrayed with such care and authenticity that it made me both smile and tear up more than once. Olivia’s journey, stepping up for her brother in ways she never expected, is touching and messy and real. And the relationship between Olivia and Nate? Frustrating, sweet, and totally believable.

This book tugged all the heartstrings—family, forgiveness, resilience—and gave me a happily ever after I didn’t know I needed. It’s one of those stories that sticks with you long after the last page. Highly recommend.
