After nearly a decade as a sous-chef in a trendy eatery, and fresh off a divorce from the owner, Jenna Stevens is desperate for a change. So when she spots a for-lease sign in her hometown, she impulsively decides to open her very own cooking store. Her crash course in business is aided by a streetwise store manager and Jenna's adoptive mother. But as soon as she gains a foothold in her new life, in walk her birth parents—aging hippies on a quest to reconnect.

Now Jenna must figure out how to reconcile the free-spirited Serenity and Tom with the parents who raised her and decide whether to open her heart to a man who just might be the best thing to happen to her in years. All without sacrificing her newly found dreams. In the end, Jenna will find that there is no perfect family, only the people we love.…

"Susan Mallery's latest takes a turn from romance to more women's fiction. While there are romantic elements, Already Home is more of a character study. Jenna is trying to find her way after a marriage gone sour that has left her confidence trampled and her creativity shaky. Opening a business in her home town, she soon has to adjust her definition of family when her birth parents reappear without warning. The threads of family - those we choose and those that choose us - are beautifully woven in this engaging tale."

    " Divorced girl moves back home to open a cooking shop and put her life back together. Just a nice story of starting over. You will like the characters and family in this story. Just a good quick summer read. "

    " If you're looking for a sappy book, this is it. Very predictable. Characters are one dimensional. The reader was very irritating trying to change her voice for different characters. It gets a 4.0 on my 10 scale. "

    " I enjoyed the book. It's less romance then it is Mothers and Daughters and looking at family in all it's different formats. "

    " I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It wasn't a romance which is what I think I liked most. I really like watching Jenna come to terms with her life. "

    " 2.5 stars, I think. I was more interested in Jenna's new business than the birth parent plotline or new love interest thing, both of which seemed to drag until the end, when it was all wrapped up with stunning speed. "

    " Somewhat conventional romance that also explores relationships with adoptive and birth parents. Better than average, although a bit emotionally manipulative at the end. "

    " Didn't make it through this one. Was drawn in by the cover and a back cover description involving food and a cooking store element, which turned out to be not as prevalent as I would have liked. This was not the type of novel I was hoping for. "

    " It's not often, that I get so involved in a story that I cry - but this one did it for me. There is nothing in life like family and this is exactly what this book is about - family you are born with, family you are adopted by and family you adopt for yourself. "
