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.

— Jan, 1/5/2014" A good story...people can change if they ever grow up. Love and need can do it. "
— Adelaide, 1/3/2014" A brilliant read, illustrating the power of forgiveness by the influence of love. Having second chances through different heart-touching ways, even when undeserved. All leading to one thing--love. "
— Sarah, 12/23/2013" I really love Kristin Hannah's books but this one was just not one of my favs. It was slow and i just didnt connect with it like the other books i have read of hers. It was just OK. "
— Teresa, 12/22/2013" A little sappier than I have been reading but definitely a fun read. "

— Heather, 12/2/2013" Love this love story! Made me sad, made me cry, made me happy though too! Fav read as of late!! "
— Tricia, 11/29/2013" I loved this story involving a cardiologist, a spoiled movie star, a priest, and a teenage girl with a bad attitude. If you read this book, make sure you have some tissues handy ... that's pretty much standard for all of the Kristin Hannah books I've read. "
— Amy, 11/28/2013" This book was just ok. I really like her books but I'm not sure why this one didn't sit well. I felt unsatisfied at the end and I think Angel just changed too quickly. "
— Brandy, 11/26/2013" I thought it was very good- Alot of emotions through out the book. "
— Randi, 11/5/2013" I love her writing style but this one was about as predictable as they can get. It started off similar to one that I had read before, but since I was away, I kept reading as it was the only book I brought. "
— Cathy, 8/30/2013" I usually really enjoy her books. This one I found the characters to be unrealistic - didn't respond to it like I have her others. "
— Erin, 5/17/2013" The characters in this story are all suffering, but a very riveting story of how they deal with it and grow. "
— Emily, 11/18/2012" Entirely too Cinderella-ish for me. "
— Aubrey, 10/26/2012" I like a book that you don't want to put down and this was one of those kind of books. "
— Kathy, 8/21/2012" Maybe not the best Kristin Hannah I've read, but still a big fan of her books. Love that they are all based in the Pacific Northwest. Predictable read. "
— Bev, 8/12/2012" I've read a lot of books by Kristin Hannah, this one was one of her best!!! "
— Maggie, 5/21/2012" Another great read from kristin Hannah!! "
— Katie, 5/10/2012" This was definitely not a deep book, but still a well-written easy read...perfect for Spring Break and a few days on the beach. Kristin Hannah did her homework on the topic of organ transplants and donors. I would recommend this book for a light, quick and enjoyable read. "
— Susan, 4/14/2012" OMG!! I fell in love with this one. My father had a liver transplant, so I can relate to the main character, Angel. This is one I still think about even though I finished it long ago. "
— Lisa, 10/8/2011" Oh my goodness. I don't think I've enjoyed a book more in the past year or so as much as I did this book! I started to need the Kleenex close to half way into the book and went through about 3 boxes! It's a great book that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy in the inside! GREAT BOOK! =) "

— Donna, 3/15/2011" Oh my goodness. I don't think I've enjoyed a book more in the past year or so as much as I did this book!

— Tanya, 3/13/2011" This was a good book. Interesting enough to want to get to the ending. Loved the "twist" in the story. Romance mostly "
— Kathy, 2/25/2011" This book made me absolutely Sob! I used a whole box of tissues I'm sure. Page 192 especially made me weep but there were so many other passages that mad my husband look at me and ask, "Are you ok?" "
