You don't have to have lived in the Palouse Country or loved a cowboy to love this book. Kennedy Foster has an ear for language and an eye for tenderness and beauty. One of the most fascinating points of authorial craft is Foster's clever way of presenting dialog during the developing relationship between the rural rancher heroine, who speaks a little Spanish, and the Mexican vaquero, who speaks a little English. Read it for no other reason and you'll be glad you did. Beyond that, her unusual us...more
A so-so love story about a rancher who falls in love with a ranch hand who is an illegal immigrant. There were too many tradgedies and incidents for the main character to make this story believable, and I fell like I need "The Dictionary for Ranchers, vol. 4" by my side to fully understand some of the more technical aspects of ranching. It just went on too long and I found myself bored with this story.
I totally loved this book.... modern day ranching in Washington state, an unusual heroine and a wonderful Mexican cowboy. I've made it sounds fluffy but it isn't at all. It is a moving story of respect for people who come unexpectedly into our lives, for ranch stock and the world around us. I can hardly wait for her next book to come out.
Didn't like the swearing, but loved the characters. A lot of food for thought, too.
Very nice easy story to read. Not deep on plot or theme, yet relaxing. Lots of good horse stuff weaved within the story which I enjoyed. I liked it. Also good insight into Mexican culture and thinking.
I found the writing sometimes confusing, but the story amazing and exciting and not what you will expect. Definitely worth reading.
Wonderful. Highly recommended. If you loved "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" then pick this up, you will be rewarded.
All Roads Lead Me Back to You is one of the best novels I've read in a long time. The love between Alice and Domingo is so warm, tangible, and real, I literally cheered when they finally came together. (Yay!) Foster is a brilliant story teller who makes you feel part of this family of delightful people. I finished it last night and couldn't go to sleep I was so happy and sad it was over!
This is a nicely written book with the exception of too many undefined horse and ranch terms. There are beautiful descriptions of the lovely Palouse region of Washington and Idaho. The book is timely in the sense of showing respect for undocumented immigrants and the need for reform to create a path to citizenship. Good story and great summer read.
