Welcome to the Blog Tour for Home No Matter Where by Nancy Naigle, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: Home No Matter Where 
Series: A Shell Collector Novel #3 
Author: Nancy Naigle 
Publisher: WaterBrook Press (Penguin Random House) 
Release Date: May 5, 2026 
Genre: Contemporary Sweet Romance/Women's Fiction

Three generations of women confront their pasts and discover it's never too late for new beginnings in this heartwarming novel of second chances and unconditional love—from the bestselling author of The Shell Collector. 

“In Home No Matter Where we travel to beautiful Whelk’s Island, where a close-knit community puts us right at home. Along the way we meet compelling characters caught in realistic storms and learn faith-filled lessons about weathering them.” —Denise Hunter, bestselling author of More Than Friends 

Nina is at her wit’s end with her teenage daughter, Kendra. Still dealing with her own wounds of divorce, Nina hopes a change of scenery will help. She and Kendra head to the serene coastal town of Whelk’s Island to spend a restorative summer with Nina’s mother, Rosemary—bringing three generations under one roof for the first time in years. Amid the island’s charm, old wounds begin to heal, and as new friendships bloom—especially with the steady and enigmatic Fisher—light begins to break through the cracks of Nina’s tightly controlled life. 

Kendra’s reckless behavior continues but Fisher’s intervention during a critical moment for Kendra sparks a sense of hope in Nina that she thought was lost. Still, change is never easy. 

As the women navigate the tides of forgiveness, growing up, and letting go, healing begins and new love brings surprises. While Whelk’s Island may not hold all the answers, it has a way of reminding people that moving forward doesn’t follow a set path—it requires the bravery to start anew. 

Women's Fiction is a genre that I enjoy reading. Home No Matter Where by Nancy Naigle is Book 3 in the Shell Collector Series. I feel it could be a stand alone novel, although it is good to read the others in the series also. 

The storyline reeled me in from the very beginning. The main characters in this story are Nina and her Daughter Kendra, along with Nina's mom Rosemary. Nina is a newly divorced Single Mom and she is trying to settle into a new life with her daughter Kendra. Kendra is a teenager who is going through the many stages of a divorce and navigate life with having her parents apart. Nina takes Kendra to Whelk's Island, to spend the Summer with her Mom Rosemary. The change of scenery might just be what they both need to get through the changes in their family dynamics. The plan seems to be backfiring when Kendra continues to make decisions that are having negative affects on many around her. Grandma Rosemary tries to guide Kendra and help her through life changes. The storyline gets deep when the 3 generations of women find that they all have some healing to do and they all take some time to heal and grow. The women not only grow individually, there is also growth within the family unit. I really LOVE that the book shows how sometimes as we look at others faults, we begin to see the depth of our own faults and true healing can begin. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Women's Fiction. GREAT BOOK!
