A good book although it is a little out of the norm when all things considered. It is definitely a good fast read and bascially i enjoyed it
completely. It is a book that you most likely are able to know the ending
but you read it anyway.... Your decision; read from the back cover:

At the center of Home Again is Madelaine--a brilliant cardiologist, a loving mother, a tender friend, and a woman full of self-doubt. It is also the story of her confused and angry daughter,Lina, and of the two very different men Madelaine loves: Francis, a priest searching for his faith, and Angel, a talented but cynical man with a broken heart. When tragedy suddenly brings them all together, they must learn to forgive the betrayals of the past and find the courage to love again.

When Movie Star Angel DeMarco suffers a heart attack, his survival depends on a heart transplant. Moved to a prestigious hospital in Seattle, he is put under the care of Dr. Madelaine Hillyard, the pregnant girlfriend he abandoned 17 years ago. Facing death, he tries to come to terms with his misspent life, and attempt to make things right with Madelaine, his saintly priest brother, Francis, and his rebellious daughter, Lina.

This book was a definite tearjerker. Kristin Hannah characters are well defined and intriguing. Angel's attitude about the transplant drove me a little nuts for the first half of the book. I wanted to slap some sense into him. Even though the story is fairly predictable, I highly recommend it. My rating: 4 Stars.
