Write your thoughts on Where the Heart Is here.

Here's the link for this book on Oprah's website. It has a reading guide, the author's favorite books, and an author bio.

Oh, I loved this one too. Billie Letts is a great author. Who knew such a thing could happen in a Walmart??

Angie (seren-lucy) I am two thirds through this book and finding it a lovely read. I read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn about a month ago and am experiencing very similar emotions with Where the Heart Is. Both books have a main character who is down on her luck but remains ambitious and positive all the same. The importance of community is also a central theme in both books, though in ATGB people were less inclined to interfere (set decades earlier). I can see why this is a favourite of Oprah's.

It's great. You won't put it down. If I still had my copy, I would send it your way.
