Her furious father disowned her while her mother and three sisters missed her desperately. When she's compelled to return 21 years later, with her 17-year-old son, Shane, and terminally ill best friend, Michael, in tow, her father still isn't speaking to her. Thirty or so members of her extended family are, however, and welcome her home with open arms. <p> Jewel isn't planning to return to Pueblo for good. She needs the sanctuary of the farm she's inherited in order to care for Michael, and when he dies she intends to return to her life in New York City. But as Jewel finds herself becoming more and more immersed in the familial web, she learns that the ties that once choked and bound now represent a loving system that both support and uphold. And when Michael's brother, Malachi, arrives, Jewel finds that love can happen at any age. <p> While the dominant thread in <I>No Place Like Home</I> is romantic, the novel also addresses universal family themes--from siblings struggling to find their own identities in a large family to the often painful and never easy bonds between father and daughter, sister and sister, mother and son--in a touching story of love and loss. <I>--Lois Dyer</I> 803969 2002 No Place Like Home total:81|5:30|4:30|3:19|2:2|1:0| 81 331 113 13 4 1 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 20 22:37:34 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 11:02:14 -0700 2009 5 1 false false Fri Mar 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 03:52:40 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 03:58:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Mar 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 12:12:35 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 07:10:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Wed Jan 21 11:24:24 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 11:25:11 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Mon Oct 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 21:01:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 19:05:33 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Aug 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 08:56:02 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 08:58:23 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Aug 22 14:11:49 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 22 18:37:46 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Jun 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 17:04:49 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 17:46:22 -0700 2009
