I am a freshman in high school. I read the book "Where the Heart Is" for a book report and I ended up loving the book. I like the way she overcame the way Willy jack left her at Wal-Mart and what she did with her life after that whole situation I would recommend this book to all ages.

I'm an ESL student. I read Where the Heart Is as part of my reading and writing class. I must have read a book and this one captivated all my interest when I read the title. I feel happy about the choice that I make. This book took out all my feelings. I think after reading "Where the Heart Is" that I'm a lucky person.

I just finished reading Billy Lett's Where the Heart Is in preparation for a college reading class I will be teaching in a couple of weeks. I found it to be wonderfully enlightening, a truly "feel-good" book touching on a culture that I am unfamiliar with, being from Ohio. It was definitely difficult to put the book down, turn off the light, and go to sleep!
I would be interested in hearing from any men who have read the book. I will have men in my college reading class when I utilize the book for the class and would like to know how the male gender thinks about this book. Please respond to my email address. ingshire@email.com Thank you!

I'm not much of a reader but when I picked up this book I couldn't put it down. The way she writes, the way you feel everything Novalee is feeling. Or how you become Novalee and you just had your baby in Wal-Mart, lost a dear friend, and how see falls in love with the most wonderful man who's ever hit the planet.

Where the Heart Is was written in a stylish and sensitive way. Letts captures her audience from the first paragraph down to the last word, leaving you wanting more. The sweet and quirky tale of an abandoned teenager finding life and love again in a small Midwestern town, shows all who read it that you really do get a second chance. An incredible read, you will cry and laugh, alternately, throughout the whole book.

I enjoyed reading Where The Heart Is. As an Oklahoman I could really appreciate the characters. They are like many of the people that I have known in my life. As an high school English teacher, I could understand the young women in the novel. They are like some of the young girls that I have taught. Letts does a wonderful job representing the everyday people in Oklahoma. I rarely go to the movies, but I had to see the flim. It was close to the text, and I found it very enjoyable. I met Billie Letts when she first published Where The Heart Is. She is a wonderful speaker and a talented writer.

A real "feel good" book. It makes you so aware of the humanity in everyday people. A great read.
