Before We Found Home: A Finding Home Novel

Before Naomi could find home, she had to find the courage to leave what was familiar behind.

Living in Alabama, Naomi is balancing family, faith, work, and her dreams for a better future when an online connection with Kofi, a devoted Ghanaian single father, begins to change the direction of her life. What starts as conversations across the distance slowly develops into something deeper, forcing Naomi to consider whether love—and God's plan for her life—might lead somewhere she never expected.

Eventually, Naomi takes a leap of faith and moves to New Mexico, determined to build a life of her own. Far from the people and places that have always grounded her, she begins navigating college at New Mexico State University, demanding work, weekly service at a local food bank, and the challenges of maintaining important relationships across the miles.

But even as Naomi moves forward, questions about where she comes from remain.

With the love of her daughter and mother still anchoring her to Alabama, Naomi begins looking more closely at her family's history. What starts as curiosity becomes a search for answers—one that could redefine everything she believes about family, identity, and belonging.

As her relationship with Kofi deepens and her new life begins taking shape, Naomi must learn that faith does not always reveal the entire road ahead. Sometimes God simply asks us to take the next step.
