With more and more people being immunized, conversations are increasingly turning to how and when people will be able to see their family members. Some people are already meeting up while others are making plans or are still just dreaming about seeing their loved ones. All of this had me thinking about books I’ve read involving a journey to find/see family or even to visit their ancestral home. Here are a few I’ve read and enjoyed.
