Publisher Description

The New York Times bestselling author of HOW TO BE LOST delivers her most ambitious work to date. HOMECOMING is a novel about motherhood, desire, and faith, set amongst the changing lives of Americans along the border, and featuring two women who connect just for an instant and change each other's lives forever.

“Ward writes with great empathy; Carla’s narrative is particularly page-turning and awful, but it doesn’t make Alice’s problems any less resonant. Both stories ask questions about what it means to be a survivor. Large amounts of dramatic material nudge the novel toward the sentimental, but it’s pulled back by Ward’s narrative skill. The spare tone adds urgency to the pacing and suggests a steely reserve on each protagonist’s part. Earnest and well told. Heartstrings will be pulled.”

— Kirkus Reviews 

Quotes

  • “The Same Sky is the timeliest book you will read this year—a wrenching, honest, painstakingly researched novel that puts a human face to the story of undocumented youth desperately seeking their dreams in America. This one’s going to haunt me for a long time—and it’s going to define the brilliant Amanda Eyre Ward as a leading author of socially conscious fiction.”

    — Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of House Rules
  • “Eyre’s wrenching fifth novel is a study in contrasts between a middle-class woman in Texas and a young girl in Honduras…Poignant and bittersweet…Carla’s journey is powerfully rendered and will stick with readers long after they close the book.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “This nuanced story about an eleven-year-old Honduran girl captures the fear—and incredible courage—that compels her to set out on a dangerous quest to find her mother in America.”

    — BookPage
  • “Riveting, heart-rending, and beautifully written, The Same Sky pulled me in on the first page and held my attention all the way to its perfect conclusion. I devoured this book.”

    — Christina Baker Kline, author of Orphan Train
