Story
In weekly phone calls to his daughter in Australia, widower Hubert Birdpaints a picture of the perfect retirement, packed with fun, friendship, and fulfillment. But it's a lie. In reality, Hubert's days are all the same, dragging on without him seeing a single soul. Until he receives some good news - good news that in one way turns out to be the worst news ever, news that will force him out again, into a world he has long since turned his back on.

Publisher's Summary
Featured on Oprah's Summer Reading List
For readers and listeners of Delia Owens' Where the Crawdads Sing and Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bees, this extraordinary historical debut novel follows three fierce Southern women in an unforgettable story of motherhood and womanhood.
It's 1924 in Branchville, South Carolina, and three women have come to a crossroads. Gertrude, a mother of four, must make an unconscionable decision to save her daughters. Retta, a first-generation freed slave, comes to Gertrude's aid by watching her children, despite the gossip it causes in her community. Annie, the matriarch of the influential Coles family, offers Gertrude employment at her sewing circle, while facing problems of her own at home. These three women seemingly have nothing in common, yet as they unite to stand up to injustices that have long plagued the small town, they find strength in the bond that ties women together. Told in the pitch-perfect voices of Gertrude, Retta, and Annie, Call Your Daughter Home is an emotional, timeless story about the power of family, community, and ferocity of motherhood.
"Like Jill McCorkle and Sue Monk Kidd, Spera probes the comfort and strength women find in their own company." (O, The Oprah Magazine)
"A mesmerizing Southern tale.... Authentic, gripping, a page-turner, yet also a novel filled with language that begs to be savored." (Lisa Wingate, New York Times best-selling author of Before We Were Yours)

Southern fiction at its best
I'm not great at writing reviews, but this book is so good I couldn't see leaving it without a comment.
I love both historical fiction and southern fiction, and this book was an amazing combination of these genres. The voices of the three varied and unique women was captured perfectly by the writer and the narrators. The characters were complex and not just cookie cutter caricatures. I can't wait to read more by Deb Spera. Wow...hard to believe that this is her first novel.

I couldn’t stop listening!
I loved this book…everything about it. The characters and times come to life. I will always remember this book, especially the women with their strength, wisdom and resiliency. There’s so much to take away from this book. Who you marry is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. I would love to meet the author and thank her! I recommend this book to every woman with a heartbeat. The three narrators were so outstanding I didn’t want the book to end. It’s was very easy to follow the woman’s life stories as the author brought their pasts to life in her efforts to explain why each character was the way they were. Brilliant.

Lovely story/perfect narration
The book is wonderful and made even more so by the expertise of the narrators. Since I have used audible.com I have found that the quality of the narration is as important as the content.
These narrators knock it out of the park. As a Southerner I sometimes find my ears offended by poorly executed dialect/accents. Not here. Excellent job.
The story itself grabs you immediately and doesn't let you go. I felt as if I knew each woman personally. Maybe it is because I grew up in the South and have met women similar to each of these steel magnolias.

Beautiful Writing...Gorgeous Narration
This story, which chronicles the perspectives of three women around the course of events one summer-fall in the rural towns of South Carolina, is written with such beautiful prose that I could see/taste/feel what was being described and felt like I was there among the protagonists. And each of the three narrators, with their unique drawls and idioms, give life to the characters that has me missing them now that I've completed the book. I'm a fan of women heroine(s?) who display (quiet) strength in the face of oppression and this account celebrates that in spades. But not in a cheesy, flash in the pan way, but with and through the steady press of forward movement that unfolds in a natural, organic way. I am not sure if Ms. Spera has or will write other novels...but I"m certain to be the first in line to consume them.

Beautifully written
I love this story and the characters are so real with plenty of depth. The writing itself is beautiful and at times it reads like poetry. I was really impressed with the writers talent and how well everything flowed.
I am not a fan of books that are made up of continuing monologues by the main characters. For this book the bulk of it was separate monologues to present the characters and there was little interaction among them. I kept waiting for these characters to come together and I would have liked that to happen sooner than it did. I would have also liked more resolution on issues before the books ending.
But the story is excellent, the characters are memorable, and the writing is beautiful.

This was good up until the end, when we delved yet again into another stereotypical story about the saintly black cook-seer who helps -dies for- the beleaguered white southern family. I’m so over it although I realize the narrative is soothing to many.

Close to Spectacular
The writing was sophisticated and carefully crafted to create an atmosphere that grabbed the reader/listener and pulled them into the story. The characters were finely drawn and showed the author’s considerable range & skill writing for different voices.
All narrators were excellent. The voices captured the author’s words with rare perfection.
My only objection is that I could have done without the bits of supernatural nonsense. I appreciate the attempt to create something that might have seemed real to the characters. But the whole exorcism thing during the hurricane was just a bit much. Unnecessary and silly.
