EDITOR’S CHOICE
A beautifully written, soulful guide that gently leads you home to yourself with wisdom, grace, and heartfelt authenticity.
Elaine Patterson’s Homecomings: 52 Ways Back to Ourselves is a beautifully crafted and soul-nourishing invitation to reconnect with the self. Written in a deeply reflective and lyrical style, this collection of 52 soliloquies gently encourages readers to pause, breathe, and turn inward amidst the noise of modern life.
Born from journal entries penned during the UK’s COVID lockdowns, Patterson’s words carry a quiet power—offering solace, insight, and a profound sense of presence. Each reflection is paired with creative invitations and journaling prompts, making this more than a book; it’s a companion on a year-long journey of self-discovery and inner restoration.
What sets Homecomings apart is its sincere and heartfelt tone. Rather than prescribe, it invites. Rather than instruct, it opens doors. Whether contemplating solitude, stillness, courage, or compassion, Patterson’s prose is both grounding and expansive—holding space for both vulnerability and strength.
There is a poetic rhythm to her writing that makes each entry feel like a warm conversation by the fire—gently guiding us back to the places within we may have forgotten. It’s a timely offering in an often disorienting world, reminding us of the profound wisdom that arises when we choose to come home to ourselves.
A tender, wise, and luminous collection, Homecomings is ideal for those seeking gentle direction, creative reflection, or simply a reminder that within us all lies a sacred place of belonging.
Highly recommended for heart-led readers, journallers, and seekers alike.
