Synopsis

Deep in the Shenandoah Valley, the present and the past are as restless as the river mists. And when they collide, the heart is the only compass pointing home.For nurse Ginger Martin, her late husband's farm is both a treasured legacy and the harbinger of an uncertain future. Since he was recently killed in Iraq, every day is fraught with grief that won't abate. Keeping the farm going and nourishing her children's hopes without him seems as impossible as having dreams for the future—or going back into the past.By a curious coincidence, a stranger appears in Ginger's life, always showing up to help in unexpected and much-needed ways. He says he's a soldier, lost and trying to make his way home, but Ginger understands that Samuel is a kindred spirit, longing to repair a life interrupted. The challenges of their hopes and longings will test who they really are in the most heartbreaking of ways. And only by coming to terms with their losses and the necessity of change will Ginger and Samuel be able to each make a future of their own—and discover at last where their true home lies.

Goodreads review by Karen on April 23, 2014

Beautifully written, emotionally satisfying, this book combines what I guess would be contemporary women's fiction (subjects of family, parenting, identity) with historical fiction (Civil War in Virginia) in a wonderfully creative way. One of those books where I had to stop recording during the fina......more

Goodreads review by Gabby-Lily on May 14, 2014

Received Here and Again as a GoodReads First Read. I started reading the book the day I received the book in the mail and couldn't put it down. It encompasses timeless themes for me: hopes, dreams, love, family, friendship, and....continuity with a sprinkling of tradition and roots. It is also a stor......more

She wants her three children to be able to grow up on the farm as was her husband's dream. The reality is that Ginger doesn't have enough money to keep the far......more

Goodreads review by Julie on April 08, 2014

Here and Again by Nicole R. Dickson Have read the author's other works and loved the book and am looking forward to this book. It's a tale about the woods and trails which I strive to get to on the weekends. We have traveled to the area of Shenandoah and have enjoyed it but didn't explore much about t......more

Goodreads review by Melissa on January 20, 2024

It was an alright book, dull at times which led me to keep setting it down. I did return to it and stubbornly finished it but I wasn't left impressed. The story was nice enough and it had some passages that gave deep thought but overall it just left some irritations with how it was handled. I can't......more

Quotes

“If you could seamlessly blend the movie Field of Dreams with Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife and season liberally with John Jakes’ North and South, you might find yourself with this unputdownable book. Dickson deftly draws the humanity out of two wars in which the US has seen many horrors and places Ginger’s story against a backdrop that blends scars from the two. With small, intimate details, Dickson brings even secondary characters to life. Never maudlin, Ginger’s pain will resonate and stick with readers who will want to move to a farm—with horse-drawn plows—and hug each and every one in Ginger’s circle.” RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)

“Dickson, whose first novel, Casting Off, was a top entry for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award, seamlessly blends past and present in this deeply satisfying novel of a family coming together after a devastating loss, finding strength in the most unexpected of places, and discovering exactly where they truly belong.” Booklist
