Kristin Hannah is the author of Home Again, a book that made me laugh out loud and cry crocodile tears. The story is about a single mother and cardiologist, Madelaine Hillyard. Madelaine is struggling with her daughter, Lina, who is 15, and rebelling. Lina's grades have nose dived, she is dressing like a goth, she started smoking, drinking alcohol, and taking drugs. Madelaine is beside herself with worry. She goes to her best friend, Father Franco, for advise. When they get to the bottom of Lina's troubles, they are shocked to learn all she wants to know is who her father is. Both Franco and Madelaine know who her father is but they don't want to tell her for her own protection. Obviously that doesn't go over well with Lina so she continues to rebel. I love this author. I already read The Nightingale and The Four Winds. She is an excellent writer.
