She hasn't been back since 1963, when her father threw her out, but now he is dying and asking for her. And although she is armed with her succesful journalism career and the strength found after her divorce, she is nearing forty and her sophisticated urban lifestyle is falling apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeading home, Mike is unprepared for a past that has lain in wait for her--one that includes an old love, a spoiled sister, and a plot to seize her family's land. And in trying to understand her long-forgotten self, she learns at last those lessons best learned early about love and loss, family and forgiveness, and the undeniable need for a place called home.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Siddons. . . knows how to exploit the old South’s sense of Gothic and its mordant wit. At the same time, we believe in her portrait of the new South--still a place as difficult to take as it is to leave.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Can you ever go home again? Siddons weaves a tender story around that theme, using a winsome narrative with just the right words, which she plucks as lovingly as from a field of flowers. She’s always written that way. When you finish the book, you’ll want to ask her to hurry on to the next one.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSouthern Living\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperTorch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44887598465253,"sku":"NP9780061011412","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780061011412.jpg?v=1730227043","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/homeplace-isbn-9780061011412","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
