2008 Whitney Finalist for Best General Fiction
One decision frozen in time. A choice that can never be
altered.
After fighting her way through a bitter and hurtful past, Mercedes Johnson has
painstakingly carved out a life of quiet contentment on a Wyoming farm with her
husband, Wayne, and their three sons. Together she and Wayne have survived the
worst trials a couple can face, and their relationship has grown as solid and
lasting as the farmland beneath their feet. If their relationship is not
everything Mercedes might have hoped for, it is enough.
All that changes when the birth father of Mercedes' oldest child returns to
Riverton. Dr. Brandon Rhodes, a renowned heart surgeon, has plans for the son he
has never met. Resentful at the secret Mercedes has kept for thirteen years, he
threatens the carefully balanced life she and Wayne have created. Just how far
is he willing to go to gain what he feels is rightfully his?
As Mercedes uncovers the truth of Brandon's intentions regarding their son and
the lies surrounding the past, she is torn between what is and what might have
been. One choice, one decision, has led her to this place. How can she live with
the consequences?
In this painfully honest novel, author Rachel Ann Nunes explores the deepest
kind of ties and the true definition of love.
What Others Are Saying
Fields of Home, is really not a romance, but it is definitely a love story. Most people face those moments when they run onto someone or something from their past and they wonder, what if I'd made a different choice all those years ago? The story is deeply satisfying and one of Nunes's finest works. Though the book falls in that vague category labeled “Women's Fiction,” I think it will be enjoyed by many men as well as the expected teen and adult female audience. Many readers will identify with the hard choices the various characters in Fields of Home face. They will also appreciate the depth and complexity of human emotion exposed in this book. Whatever, your reading tastes, give this book a try; I think most will be pleased with what they find in it. (To read full review visit Meridian Magazine online.)
—Jennie Hansen of UT
I've read almost every book you've written and I've enjoyed most of them. Fields of Home, the latest book I've read, stands in a class of its own. Rachel, this book is phenomenal. I felt the heartache, the love, the sorrow . . . and the depth and maturity of this book is just amazing. I think it's your best book. I really do. I just had to write and tell you because I am so impressed by this book. Very, very well done!
—Kathi Johnson
In this book, Rachel Ann Nunes does an excellent job of tying the worlds of Mercedes Walker and Mercedes Johnson together. Mercedes' struggle to find her place is a struggle that many women can relate to. Who hasn't wondered what might have been had they chosen differently in the past? So often, women of today are confronted with options that can seem more glamorous or more fulfilling than everyday life. Throughout this story, Mercedes and the reader come to see that there is great merit in the quiet, unconditional love that is built over time. (See full review on AML list archives.)

Author's Comments
I'm very excited about the release of this book. Mercedes is a character I
greatly admire, and I feel that in a large way she represents every woman. No
matter who we are, we face great trials, and how we react to events shows what
we're made of. My product director at Shadow Mountain feels this the the
strongest novel of mine that they have yet published.
