You like conflict? HOME AGAIN has it in spades. Although the situation is unlikely—you are dear friends with the Catholic priest and brother of the boyfriend who left you pregnant—it gets even more unlikely—the female main character is a heart surgeon and the ex-boyfriend needs a heart transplant.

There just enough medical and religious detail to make the story cohesive without be a drag. I like to see how Hannah has her character's evolve. Not just the main characters either. The supporting cast, like the teenage daughter, also transforms.

The author also has a way of describing the scenery that makes it another character and not a weather report. The ending might be a little predictable but getting there was fun.
