Editorial Review:
Twenty-five years ago, Carly Griffin left Leland, Kentucky, sure that it held nothing for her future. Now weary of living overseas for one consulting project after another, she's glad to have two months back in Leland to relax with her aging parents. When she catches a glimpse of her high school friend Justine in the doorway of her elegant home, she is surprised by the warm, familiar feelings stirred within. Justine Hall made different choices, returning to Leland after college to marry and raise two children. Now divorced, she walks a fine line between sanity and hell, struggling to reconcile the sexuality she can no longer deny with the expectations of motherhood and mores in a small town.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A compelling look at life and love and coming home in a small town
I really like KG MacGregor's style. I like her way with words, and her thoughtful way with characterizations. She really takes the time to delve into the motivations, events, settings and decisions that form the lives of her creations, and it makes for a rich and rewarding reading experience. I thought perhaps 3-1/2 stars. I save 4 stars for books that I'll read repeatedly, and while this one was excellent, I don't know that it was light enough for me to revisit...I'm fragile emotionally. But the ... Read More
Rating: - A Love Tested
Drama and small-town life are the backdrop for this love of two women that spanned more than 25 years and survived through marriage and other problems.
Rating: - It's All About the House
I've read other novels by KG MacGregor, and was prepared, I thought, to enjoy this one, just released again by Bella Books. I was surprised and pleased and thoroughly entertained by the skill and depth I found here. There's humor and great subplots and minor characters you want to hang out with and get to know. MacGregor has created a very real little community here.
Justine lives in the house on Sandstone, the kind you build when your husband is a successful attorney who just made ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful Love Story!
I absolutely love KG MacGregor's writing style and her talent for telling a great love story. The House on Sandstone is a wonderful book and a very easy read. This book is about two women who had chemistry between them in high school but, the simple minds of a small midwestern community would not except their kind of love. Fast forward 25 years later and see how the lives of Carly and Justine have changed. Can they finally be happy together or will Justine's insecurities and guilt keep her from true ... Read More
Rating: - Delightful novel of people in a small town depicted with love and humor
Terrific novel filled with wonderful fully fleshed characters. More than a romance and more than a drama of small town life. I've read the novel twice now and loved it even more on the second reading. The story is filled with many laugh out loud moments. The characters are so well drawn you start to think of them as people you might know. This book is a keeper.
