When
Sylvie Serfer met Richard Woodruff in law school, she had
wild curls, wide hips, and lots of opinions. Decades later,
Sylvie has remade herself as the ideal politician’s wife—her
hair dyed and straightened, her hippie-chick wardrobe
replaced by tailored knit suits. At fifty-seven, she
ruefully acknowledges that her job is staying twenty pounds
thinner than she was in her twenties and tending to her
husband, the senator. Lizzie, the Woodruffs’ younger
daughter, is at twenty-four a recovering addict, whose
mantra HALT (Hungry? Angry? Lonely? Tired?) helps her keep
her life under control. Still, trouble always seems to find
her. Her older sister, Diana, an emergency room physician,
has everything Lizzie failed to achieve—a husband, a young
son, the perfect home—and yet she’s trapped in a loveless
marriage. With temptation waiting in one of the ER’s exam
rooms, she finds herself craving more. After
Richard’s extramarital affair makes headlines, the three
women are drawn into the painful glare of the national
spotlight. Once the press conference is over, each is forced
to reconsider her life, who she is and who she is meant to
be.
Written with an irresistible blend of
heartbreak and hilarity, Fly Away Home is an
unforgettable story of a mother and two daughters who after
a lifetime of distance finally learn to find refuge in one
another.
