I'm not the target demographic for Almost There, nor is it one that I expected to have drastic impact. However, I marvel at how it was the exact message I needed at this season of my life. I have no doubt the same is going to be said by many who also give it a read.

DiFelice shares her experiences of living a transient lifestyle as a military family, setting up homesteads in new cities, meeting new friends, experiencing the need to redevelop a marital home following deployments and more. A lot of the time, we call this “finding the new normal.” However, Difelice shows that it’s more about finding home and pursuing God. To live the way he designed us and guides us. As she shows, we are constantly redefining home. And we’re doing that according to our sense of personal belonging, identity and purpose.

This is a great summer read written in a common and authentic narrative. Many people will find it to be insightful, profound, and uplifting during many different seasons of life.
