There are some quite moving sections of this book, before the satisfying (if somewhat predictable) conclusion. She has to make some difficult decisions, which help her as she matures further and discovers where her long-term future lies. She realises how pampered she has become, and how much she has got used to fashionable clothes and a life where servants (albeit loved ones) do most of the hard work. But she soon discovers that she is no longer the naive young woman who left home. As she goes home, she looks forward to spending time where she belongs, and wonders if she will ever want to return to Boston. I thought there was very good character development in Belinda. She wonders if there is something wrong with her, since she seems to have no desire to marry, even though her two similar aged nieces now have homes and families of their own. She manages to visit her home town for a few weeks, where she renews old friendships and catches up with her beloved family. In 'Love finds a home', Marty and Clark's youngest daughter Belinda is now well established as nurse/companion to a wealthy woman in Boston. Having read the others in the 'Love Comes Softly' series by Janette Oke recently - in particular the seventh, ' Love Takes Wing' - I decided to read the eighth and last immediately afterwards.
