  • "Hungry for Home" by Ruth McKeaney is a poignant and evocative novel that delves into the depths of human longing and the search for belonging. Set against the backdrop of a post-war era, the story follows the journey of the protagonist, named Anchor Moment, as she grapples with the haunting memories of her past and seeks solace in the concept of home.
    Anchor Moment, a resilient and introspective young woman, finds herself caught between two worlds. Having grown up in a war-torn region, she has witnessed the destruction and upheaval that comes with conflict. With the war finally over, Anchor is plagued by a deep sense of displacement and yearning for a place to call her own.
    Driven by an insatiable hunger for connection and a longing to restore the fragmented pieces of her identity, Anchor embarks on a physical and emotional odyssey. Her journey takes her through diverse landscapes and communities, each offering a unique perspective on the meaning of home. From bustling cities to tranquil rural villages, Anchor encounters a cast of vibrant characters who challenge her preconceptions and offer glimpses of hope and understanding.
    As the narrative unfolds, Ruth McKeaney skillfully explores themes of identity, displacement, and the complexities of human relationships. She paints a vivid picture of the aftermath of war and the enduring scars it leaves on individuals and communities. Through Anchor's encounters and personal growth, the author explores the resilience of the human spirit and the power of empathy to bridge divides.
    "Hungry for Home" captures the universal yearning for a place of belonging and the profound impact that a sense of home can have on one's sense of self. Ruth McKeaney weaves a tapestry of emotions, creating a compelling narrative that resonates with readers on a deeply personal level. With lyrical prose and heartfelt storytelling, the novel invites readers to reflect on their own notions of home, identity, and the fundamental human need for connection.
    Overall, "Hungry for Home" is a captivating exploration of the human spirit's quest for belonging, wrapped in a beautifully written tale of resilience, self-discovery, and the enduring power of home.

    Ruth , thank you so much to share this beautiful anchor moment ! I had asked Spirit earlier to show me what is that I AM to do now to serve with my gifts ( I am 61 ) and I felt to go watch an Homeworthy video and Spirit showed me yours … I started crying as you shared your experience as I felt a release inside and the validation of all the support I am given already everyday . Now I am asked to trust opening my Heart more and come out of “ hiding “ and share my story of my healing journey balancing opposites parts inside of me allowing me now to be fully who I truly AM . I had watched few months ago the other videos of your farm , family , cooking … the beautiful book and it all inspired me very much because I grew up in a very different environment than what you describe : family , having lots of people over , blessing and that is what I want to create in my own , authentic , trustful , loving way . I have 3 sons and 2 grand daughters . I AM leaving a legacy of Love and Victory to be shared . Much gratitude dear Ruth 🪽🙏💛🌈🎊

    I don’t have words to tell you how much I needed to hear your story. I watched your home tour on Homeworthy
    and fell in love with your home and strong bond to your family. I recently watched your CZcams for fall entertaining and ordered your book then looked to see if I could find your recipe for chocolate chip cookies on line and I did so I made them. Of course they were a hit. My dreams of being a homemaker and all things family were completely shattered about 5 years ago and I have felt so lost. I was married for 27 years with 4 daughters and found myself divorced for reasons out of my control and my family felt like it was falling apart. I am so blessed to be a Christian and have a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior but, I have had no passion for anything and I have prayed for God to get me out of survival mode and back into blessing others and seeing a future. I fully believe He turns ashes to beauty and that there will be something amazing to come. I have written the prayer down that your uncle asked you to pray and look forward to seeing where God leads. I love your story and your amazing gift for hospitality with beautiful ideas that are practical and make guest feel special.
    You are truly inspiring.
    Thank you.

    Please share more about Corrie ten Boom. I met her when I was 20 and set under her sharing/teaching for 3 days and it was a life changing experience. I am 75 now.

    I’m crying right now. You are important to me. I had just finished praying asking God for two things when I came upon your video. And, suddenly I understand, the path is asking what He wants of me beyond my means. I will receive much more than what I asked for…a deeper fellowship with Him. Thank you, Ruth! One day I hope to share my anchor moment. 😘
