Great fantasy that would make an excellent movie...Michelle Pfeiffer could play the older woman. Highly recommended.
Wonderful!

A voracious reader, yet I can count on one hand the stories that have touched me as Homecoming Queen did. Fountain Street Heat was every bit as engrossing. I highly recommend anything Linda Hughes writes!
Old Photos and Go-go Boots
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
"Homecoming Queen" is for all the women who wince and laugh when they see old photographs of themselves in go-go boots, and who still cry over old lovers. Hughes brings it all back - and then some. Be prepared for the sweet, uncomfortable memories of an era when love was free and death was something no one was prepared for.
Great Read II

I realized too late that I had mistakenly rated Homecoming Queen with four stars rather than five. Please correct my typo and change my rating to 5 stars. If ever a book deserves a top rating, Homecoming Queen is it! Thank You, CLR
Don't be turned off by the cover, this is a great book!

I read HOMECOMING QUEEN in manuscript form and loved it. But I got to say I probably wouldn't have read it if I had seen it with this faux 70's miniseries cover. The book is so much better than the cheesy cover would lead you to believe. So I guess it's literally a case of don't judge a book by the cover. HOMECOMING QUEEN is a story that will stay with you for a long time after you've finished it - how often do you come across a novel you can say that about?I can totally see it becoming a movie. And when it does, I hope it has a better poster than the book has cover!
