Praise for Home Sweet Home:

“[In] Smith’s terrific new novel… .[she] illuminates the force of McCarthyism-generated fear in the Midwest and effectively personalizes it through the persecution the Kusak family endures for their liberal beliefs. The author also skillfully ties together the two time periods, avoiding melodrama.”—Publishers Weekly
