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.

With Home Again, New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah has written a moving, powerful novel about the fragile threads that bind together our lives and the astonishing possibility of second chances.
