My name is Kendall Carrington—or so I thought.
One night, a routine traffic stop turned the world I thought I knew upside down. I wasn’t who I thought I was. No one was. I had been kidnapped when I was young, and everything I had been told was all a lie. But the lies didn’t end there. If it hadn’t been for Lincoln Hunt, I might not have ever found out the truth.
My real name is Danielle Tucker.
This is my story of pain, betrayal, and finding the true meaning of home.

Home No More was a really great read. I was surprised that this was Leddy's first
published book. The way it was written I
feel like this can’t be her first. Leddy
has to have some books under her belt that she just never released, because her
writing is that of an author who has much experience writing. With that being said, let’s get into my
review.
Home No More had so many twists and turns. I kept trying to guess the plot, and what was
going to happen next, and then BAM, I was hit with another shocking turn. To
say Home No More kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, is an
understatement.
Kendall is a victim.
She doesn’t feel like one, but she is.
She was kidnapped at the age of 3, and 14 years later she was found, and
taken back “home” to her “family”. She doesn’t
feel like a victim because she wasn’t physically abused in any way. Her kidnapper loved her, and treated her like
a daughter, therefore she felt fine.
Kendall didn’t see the signs. No
going out in public, not going to school, not having any friends. She was trapped, but it was all she knew
since she could remember. So it was in a
sense what she thought was “normal”, and she never had a reason to question
anything.
Once Kendall returns home, things get crazy. She’s forced to live in a house with people
she doesn’t know, who claim to be her family.
All Kendall wants is to go back to where she came from.
Kendall starts therapy and at first she hates it. But at the same time, she starts learning
more and more things, and seeing everything for what it really is.
Then theirs Link. God
I love him! He becomes Kendall’s first
friend. Link is there to pick Kendall up
when she’s down, and Kendall starts to depend on him emotionally. In time
Kendall has a choice to make. Make a new
life with her new family, or go back to her old life. It’s not an easy decision, and she definitely
goes back and forth with her answer.
I really don’t want to give any more away, but again I will
say Home No More kept me on the edge. I
so badly wanted to scream and just tell Kendall to pick what she wanted. But then I would put myself in her position
and understand the hardships of it all.
Leddy has a way with words.
I was hooked and found it very hard to put the book down. I just wanted to know what was going to
happen next. And when I tell you, you
will get a shock of a lifetime in this story, its true!
Home No More is the perfect story about finding ones true
self. Finding out who you are, compared
to who you were. Wanting better for
yourself, and going through the process of becoming a better person to yourself
and others. It truly was a beautiful
story. The only thing I would’ve liked
to see was the characters grow in age.
Rather than them staying 17/18. I
would have loved for them to be in their 20s, but that doesn’t take away from
the story. Home No More was beautiful,
and a very realistic story.
Leddy, you did an amazing job with Home No More. I can’t
wait for more of your books! You have a forever fan in me!
