A Home for the Heart
Book 8 of the The Journals of Corrie Belle Hollister series
313 pages · First published 1994
A family seeking stability tries to create a true home while economic, relational, and historical pressures make belonging uncertain. The characters’ Christian convictions are tested by practical problems that cannot be solved simply by good intentions. New relationships and responsibilities gradually redefine home as something built through loyalty and sacrifice rather than merely possessed. Michael R. Phillips continues his family-centered historical saga with faith, domestic drama, and the long work of creating a place where wounded people can belong.
