Purchase options and add-ons

Three estranged sisters reconnect in their Louisiana hometown to face an unresolved past in a heartfelt novel about family, grief, secrets, and forgiveness.

Savannah was four years old when her twin sister, Georgia, went missing from their small Louisiana town, fracturing their family. Twenty-eight years later, Savannah convinces her estranged older sisters, Rayanne and Sue Ellen, to honor the pact they made as children and retrieve the time capsule they buried in their old backyard. But coming home means confronting old ghosts…and their stubborn grandmother, Meemaw.

Sifting through the artifacts, they come across a photograph taken on the day Georgia disappeared and spot a familiar woman lingering in the background. While Sue Ellen and Rayanne want to move on with their lives, Savannah is determined to find the woman―and perhaps a clue to the past.

When old tensions, rivalries, and memories resurface, the sisters must reconsider what they thought they knew about that fateful day, about each other, and about themselves. On their search to uncover what happened to Georgia, each of them will discover what Meemaw has known all along: family is everything.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The concept of home, shaky at the beginning, is made whole again…A good addition to women’s fiction collections.” ―Booklist

“With lush prose and vivid description, Laura Barrow paints a picture of three sisters and their grandmother searching to uncover a secret from the past―and heal the wounds that have, in many ways, shaped their lives. Lyrical and lovely, Call the Canaries Home is a stunning debut from a standout new voice in women’s fiction. And Laura Barrow is officially on my list of must-read authors!” ―Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of The Summer of Songbirds

“For fans of small-town fiction and bighearted family comes a moving tale of forgiveness, loss, and secrets told through a cast of memorable characters. As three sisters move closer toward the truth behind their sibling’s disappearance, they discover deeper truths about themselves. Barrow crafts an impressive debut, culminating in a bittersweet yet satisfying conclusion. A touching, heartfelt read proving that family truly is everything.” ―Rochelle B. Weinstein, bestselling author of When We Let Go

The writing is great! At first, I thought it was going to be a boring story, kinda slow moving. Everyone bickering. As with most broken lives, healing is an on-going process. The author is a great storyteller and this will be one of the more memorable books I’ve read this year. The characters are ‘real’ and the descriptive passages are beautifully done. I look forward to more from this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 charming stars for this small town novel.
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2023

It’s impossible not to love a story with a main character grandmother named Meemaw!

A family mystery is at the center of the story and the plot moves forward with the scattering narrative of the past timeline throughout. It was a bit confusing to keep track of the various POV’s each chapter is being told from. The pace starts slow but picks and stays steady and consistent as it revealed important pieces of the family history, while tying into the present day storyline.

This story is centered around sisterhood and this aspect was done extremely well. The family dynamics were messy, multilayered and full of heart. I found myself immersed within the sisters relationships and secrets, rooting for them to get the answers they were searching for.

Much of the family’s story happened before the reader meets the characters and through these past timeline perspectives, the weight of those pieces of history shine through, adding depth to the story and creating an emotional connection to the characters.

I thought I knew for sure where the mystery at the heart of the story was leading, but I was wrong, and, without adding spoilers, I’ll say that I’m still processing the direction it ended up taking, and the myriad emotions it conjured.

The perfect read when I needed a break from my police/crime dramas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Calling all canaries
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2023

Marylynn Pritchett – aka Meemaw, is a force to be reckoned with! Easily my favorite character of the story, Meemaw resides in the small town of Muscadine, Louisianna. It is when she falls ill she calls her girls home – her granddaughters.

Rayanne, Sue Ellen, and Savannah are the three remaining girls that Marylynn has in her life. It was after one frightful day at the beach when they were all younger that their little sister Georgia was kidnapped. Georgia is the twin of Savannah, so losing her other half has hit her very hard throughout the years. After their sister went missing, their mother Beverly, unable to live her life after losing a child, falls ill and passes away. Marylynn, insistent that the girls live with her, approaches their in-and-out father, whom is an on the road truck driver, and announces the girls will be living with her from now on. Not wanting to stir up trouble, it seemingly appears he gives up the girls to Marylynn and she ends up raising them as her own.

Flashing forward to present day, the girls – who for various reasons, have not had striking relationships with any of their sisters, meet up to make sure Meemaw (Marylynn) is okay. While home, they remember their old house has a time capsule they buried, and the story goes on to ensure they dig it up out of their old backyard, while nearly being shot-gunned full of holes by the new owner! That was a hilarious take on retrieving the memory box.

While looking inside the capsule, they find photographs of their mother when she was younger, and a picture of all four of them on the beach that fateful day they lost Georgia – only, this time, they notice a woman in the background looking at them peculiarly.

Savannah, wanting to know what happened to her twin, and feeling as though this woman might have something to do with it, she convinces her sisters that this might be the missing link they have been searching for – their sister is still missing, and they have never found a body.

This book is a wonderful mystery and the lesson – “friends are nice, but family is family” (p. 78) is full circle. It’s awful wonderful to have friends. You can choose them. Your family however, you cannot choose. Sure, you may have rifts, you may have times where you don’t like each other – completely evident in this book. The lesson however, is that your family will always be there, regardless of what you do or say.

There are harsh words these sisters have to work out, not having talked for years. The author makes the characters real and raw, you can feel their pain of loss and heartbreak throughout their lives, and having to come to terms with their Meemaw being sick (as well as coming back to their small town that two out of three left, for various reasons) and they have to work out their heartbreak together.
You can’t run from your problems. They always have a way of finding you. Who better to work it out with than the people who all are hurting from the same things?

I gave this book 5/5 stars. Run, don’t walk, to read this. You won’t regret it.

The characters are quirky, which helps the plot line, but there is a serious let down. While the family drama was interesting, the mystery of the missing twin really grabbed my attention. Unfortunately, the mystery was never thoroughly addressed and that made the ending rather ho-hum.

This story was a heartbreaking untangling of generational hurts, sicknesses, and tragedy. It was sweet in a lot of ways- the way people supported their family even when they were hard to love. The way the sisters realized that they should share their hurts instead of using them as weapons against each other. I did feel like a lot of their most irritating tics, though, just disappeared and weren’t really addressed.

This was an Amazon first reads pick for June and it did not disappoint! This is a story about sisters finding their way back to each other after tragedy uproots their lives when they were children.

A sister who vanishes at the beach and is never seen again. A mother who is lost to grief and then illness. A father who is never there when they need them. A grandmother that will stop at nothing to protect them. This is the story of the Guidry sisters, Rayanne, Sue Ellen, Savannah and Georgia.

This one had me from beginning to end. The mystery of Georgia’s disappearance kept me hooked but also the relationship between all the girls and their grandmother.

If you like a story about complex family dynamics and a coming home take then this one's for you!

This book was refreshing in an unexpected way. The characters were well developed and I felt I knew them. So much heartache, half a life spent avoiding the past, or as in Savannahs case, stuck in the past. I loved how the story unfolded through each sister and Meemaws’ voice giving us different perspectives. I would definitely recommend this book.
