Zondervan Coming Home
Coming Home is a novel about tremendous victory and unprecedented loss, a story of faith and a forever kind of love, love that will stay with you long after the last page. This stand-alone novel will serve as either a grand introduction or a beautiful conclusion in the saga of the Baxter Family. The Baxters make plans to come together for a summer lakeside reunion, a celebration like they haven't had in years. But before the big day, the unthinkable happens. As the Baxter Family rallies together, memories come to light in the grief-stricken hours of waiting and praying, memories that bring healing and hope during a time when otherwise darkness might have the final word. In a season that changes all of them, the brilliance of family love overshadows even the valley of heartache as the Baxters draw closer to God and each other. Along the way, secrets are revealed and the truth about the Baxter Family history is finally made known. Ultimately, in this portrait of family love, the Baxters cling to each other and to God's promise of forever.

Question
When should I read her latest book in the Baxter Saga?
I have read the whole redemption series in the past, I am currently re-reading the same series and coming to the end of book 5. I want to read the other two series that are part of the Baxter family novels. Should I read this book before the Firstborn series or should i read it after the Firstborn and Sunset Series?

As all of her books, Coming Home could be read as a stand alone, but is a wrap-up of all three series you mention. So if you like to read "the back of the book," go ahead and read it first, but both the Firstborn and Sunrise series expand on the lives of the Baxter family and the Flanigans, which are inter-related. I read them all as they came out, so Coming Home was more meaningful after getting to know the families through the other series.

The Baxter Saga series do go in order. If you want to continue developing a bond with the Baxter family, you would want to read the Firstborn and Sunset series before reading Coming Home. Coming Home summarizes and brings closure to the entire Baxter family.

answer 5
Coming Home comes AFTER the Redemption, Firstborn and Sunset series, so if you are planning to read the Firstborn and Sunset series, you should definitely read them first, otherwise you will find Coming Home has a lot of spoilers.
But you don't need to read the Above the Line or Bailey Flannigan series before reading Coming Home - they are more about Bailey Flannigan, and are really Young Adult fiction.

I have read the entire Baxter/Flanigan/Bailey saga and was glad I had before reading Coming Home. I would at least read the Firstborn and Sunset series first. She does a great job of catching you up (which was helpful since it had been a while since I read the first book), but reading Coming Home first will give away some of the other stories in previous books.
