Review:

Praise for "Looking for Me"
"Hoffman's novel of a woman putting the pieces of her family's secrets together combines a deep dramatic impact with Southern charm."
--"Publishers Weekly"
"Hoffman has a good ear for dialogue, and Teddie and her friends are realistic, appealing characters. Perfect for fans of family-centered women's fiction, this book will have special appeal to readers interested in antiques and 'shabby chic' style."
--"Booklist"
"If you want a charming look at Charleston, a do-it-yourself book on the intricacies and value of furniture restoration, or some evocative reminiscence about good Kentucky home cooking, then LOOKING FOR ME is the book for you. In fact, somewhere in the midst of Beth Hoffman's pages of this discovery-of-self novel about a young woman named Theodora Overman, you'll probably want to take a break, head to a nearby yard sale, and pick up a treasure or two of your own to refurbish."""
