Home Again is a novel by New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah, published by Random House (Ballantine Books). Madelaine Hillyard is a world-famous heart surgeon at the top of her career, but her personal life is far less successful. A loving but overworked single mother, she is constantly at odds with her teenage daughter Lina, who is confused, angry, and desperate to find the father who walked away before she was born.

Complicating matters are the vastly different DeMarco brothers: priest Francis DeMarco, who is always ready to lend a helping hand, and his brother Angel, who long ago took on the role of bad boy. Years earlier, Angel abandoned Madelaine—and fatherhood—to pursue fame and fortune as an actor. Now he reappears, seeking help from the very people he betrayed when he arrives as a patient in dire need of a heart transplant.

This moving, powerful story explores themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the astonishing possibility of second chances. Hannah weaves together questions of spirituality, organ donation, and the bonds of family in her first contemporary novel. The book includes a Reader's Guide with discussion questions, making it an excellent choice for book clubs.
