Publisher's Description
Audrey Needham, Bay Area interior designer to the rich and pretentious, is down to her last nerve. Her boss is impossible to please, her future is in jeopardy, and her great-aunt Daisy needs support as her husband descends into Alzheimer's. When Daisy enlists Audrey's help preparing for a move to assisted living, Audrey risks her career to return to the idyllic small town of Charity Falls, Oregon, the summer stomping grounds of her childhood. But Charity Falls was also the place that broke her heart when her father was killed in a tragic fire at the Sugar Pine Inn thirteen years ago. Despite Audrey's intent to avoid emotional entanglement, the pull of home is hard to resist. Something should be done about the deteriorating inn. A local girl with an incarcerated father needs a friend. And handsome local do-gooder Cade Carter is coloring Audrey all shades of uncertain. Join award-winning writer and debut novelist Kit Tosello in this lyrical and often humorous exploration of how God redeems brokenness and draws us to the life we're meant to find.

“Richly layered scenes, intriguing characters, and a compelling story all skillfully woven together to create a delightful debut novel that I devoured from beginning to end. Well done, Kit! What’s next?”
“From page one, Kit Tosello’s vividly told tale of rediscovery places the reader in the midst of a Pacific Northwest town and its endearing people. By the last page, both will feel like home. This is a must-read for fans of small-town contemporary stories centered on intergenerational connections.”
“Kit has a winsome way of using words to paint heart-touching images in The Color of Home. I paused as I was reading and lingered over her lush descriptions and clever development of the relationship between Audrey and Cade. A lovely story!”
“Robin Jones Gunn, bestselling author of over one hundred books, including Tea with Elephants “Not only is Kit Tosello’s The Color of Home overflowing with evocative sensory details and a strong sense of place, it is also an inspiring story of finding healing and a place to belong.
