You won't find your "average guest" staying in this house! After Melba witnesses a collision that includes a cyclist, she decides it's time for a change. She quits the rat race of success & moves into an old farmhouse. That is where her guests come in!

This is both a story about tragedy & change. It also tells of love, friendship & strength. A heartbreaking, touching story that will tug at your heart!

I enjoyed this book very much & would definitely read another by Richardson. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys stories about life, struggle & strength. A great read by Barbara K. Richardson!

WOW! This was a great book. I truly didn't want it to end.

The writing was so easy to read, it just flowed beautifully. The characters were all so well developed. The story was quite a journey of highs and lows. This story touches on almost all human emotions; love, hate, betrayal, fear, jealousy, loneliness, power, and everything else.

When I say I didn't want the story to end I truly mean it. I could have just kept right on reading about Melba, JoLee, Gene, Matt, Bill, and everyone else. I became so attached to all of them. Even though they weren't all the best of people they were all so real. I could relate to all of what they were thinking, feeling, and experiencing.

I just got so lost in this book. It was so real, I felt as if I was becoming a part of the story.

I don't want to give up my copy, but per author's request I will be passing it along. Even more than I want to keep it, I want to share it with others.

Great book!

A delightful journey into the heart, Guest House is simply elegant. The novel takes the reader through the trials and tribulations of relationship. As Ms. Richardson takes us through the darkest moments of the heart, we are also treated to the sweetest experience. Melba, a middle aged woman, who has decided to simplify her life after a traumatic event, finds herself sharing her home with a woman who will change her life forever. Just when we least expect it, relationship can pleasantly surprise us in places and ways unexpected.
