Publisher Description

Are there sins of the heart beyond forgiving? The Answer is revealed in LaVyrle Spencer's powerful novel of a family whose future is imperiled by the past. When a new student transfers to principal Tom Gardner's school, Tom instantly recognizes that this teenager is the son he never knew he had, the result of a one-night stand years before. Raised by an adoring and fiercely independent mother who never revealed the name of his biological father, Kent Arens is a fine young man. But his very presence represents something deeper- and darker-to the members of Tom Gardner's family.

To Claire, Tom's wife, Kent is the symbol of an act of betrayal so bitterly wrenching she cannot forgive her husband. To Chelsea, their daughter, he is the boy she is falling in love with and to Claire's son, Robby, Kent is his rival in the classroom and on the football field.

As the Gardners careen toward disaster, they must learn the true meaning of unconditional love. In that lesson, Home Song strikes a universal chord in all of us.

"Wow, did I love this book! I almost deducted a star because the control-freak, drama-queen wife was so hard-to-take that it took a lot of pleasure out of the book, but then put it back when the Guidance Counselor and daughter unloaded on her. It was hard to believe that the husband could love someone like that so much, but I know people like her, and they still have someone who manages to love them a lot in spite of their faults--that's why it's called unconditional love. I definitely plan to look up more books by this author."

    " Is loved this book. I think Tom was marvelous and his wife less so. I wish the author had put more emphasis on the relationship between the two brothers and between the father and the sons. She could have added lots of good moments involving the football games but this area was slim. But I love all her books and would read it again. "

    " Great book---I actually liked the ending. It really made me think, while not being a heavy read, and I thought the were bits of wisdom throughout. I did pass over some of the risque parts--they are married but still... "

    " Any book of LS is well worth the read. Homesong was a sweet story which followed most of LaVyrle's books, yet sucked me in just like the rest of them. This is an author who I wish had never retired! "

    " An angsty read. My first try of LaVryle Spencer. She knows how to keep you turning pages. But I have to say, people expected the heroine to get over her husband's betrayal way too quickly. "
