Home Again: A Novel (Large type / large print edition) (Paperback)

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the author The Women, a moving, powerful novel about the fragile threads that bind together our lives and the astonishing potential of second chances "A tender, beautifully told story of emotional growth, forgiveness [and] the possibility of miracles."-- Publishers Weekly, starred review Madelaine Hillyard is a world-famous heart surgeon at the top of her game. Her personal life is far less successful. A loving but overworked single mom, she is constantly at odds with her teenage daughter. At sixteen, Lina is confused, angry, and fast becoming a stranger to her mother--a rebel desperate to find the father who walked away before she was born. Complicating matters for Madelaine are the vastly different DeMarco brothers: While priest Francis DeMarco is always ready to lend a helping hand, his brother, Angel, long ago took on the role of bad boy. Years earlier Angel abandoned Madelaine--and fatherhood--to go in search of fame and fortune. His departure left Madelaine devastated, but now he reappears and seeks help from the very people he betrayed--as a patient in dire need.
