Reseña:  From one of the nations most beloved writers Fly Away Home is an unforgettable story of a mother and two daughters who seek refuge in an old Connecticut beach house. When Sylvie Serfer met Richard Woodruff in law school she had wild curls wide hips and lots of opinions. Decades later Sylvie has remade herself as the ideal politicians wife--her hair dyed and straightened her hippie-chick wardrobe replaced by tailored knit suits. At fifty-seven she ruefully acknowledges that her job is staying twenty pounds thinner than she was in her twenties and tending to her husband the senator. Lizzie the Woodruffs younger daughter is at twenty-four a recovering addict whose mantra HALT (Hungry? Angry? Lonely? Tired?) helps her keep her life under control. Still trouble always seems to find her. Her older sister Diana an emergency room physician has everything Lizzie failed to achieve--a husband a young son the perfect home--and yet shes trapped in a loveless marriage. With temptation waiting in one of the ERs exam rooms she finds herself craving more. After Richards extramarital affair makes headlines the three women are drawn into the painful glare of the national spotlight. Once the press conference is over each is forced to reconsider her life who she is and who she is meant to be. Written with an irresistible blend of heartbreak and hilarity Fly Away Home is an unforgettable story of a mother and two daughters who after a lifetime of distance finally learn to find refuge in one another.
