“This book will make you homesick for places you’ve never been. But more than that, it will make you homesick for the people you love. Michigan and Cape Town are full-bodied characters in this story. But this book is about how going home sometimes looks like uprooting ourselves from everything familiar in order to make our home in the heart of someone else. It is a hard journey. But as Kate so tenderly teaches, it is the truest happy ending.” - Lisa-Jo Baker, best-selling author of Never Unfriended and Surprised by Motherhood.

“The best memoirs either pull the reader into the author’s compelling story or draw the author’s universal truths into the reader’s story. A Place to Land deftly manages both. Despite the many challenges she faces, Kate presses on, urging us by example to do the same. In the end, her thoughtful conclusions about longing and belonging may well become our own.” - Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Bad Girls of the Bible.

“We have all experienced home as longing and loss. Can we find hope in our seasons of suffering? A Place to Land confidently answers yes, lifting our eyes beyond this fragile, temporary life to a better world to come.” - Jen Pollock Michel, author of Keeping Place and Teach Us to Want.
