Eleanor Levine returns to Ireland after leaving it over
seventy years ago. She rents a ground level apartment in
beautiful Golden Square where she can watch life go by from
her window. She's come to her homeland seeking healing after
her husband passed away. As she watches from her window,
she's curious about the stories of some of the residents she
sees around Golden Square.
After years of trying to be noticed, Megan Flynn just wants
to disappear. The up-and-coming actress has an affair with
an older, well-known actor, and it's been splashed across
all the gossip magazines. Her career could be ruined. The
paparazzi are going wild with this fiasco. She disappears to
her Aunt Nora's on Golden Square, where no one really knows
her. Will her life ever be the same again? Does she want it
to be?
Rea Kerrigan manages Titania's Palace Tea Room on Golden
Square. She's happily married, loves her job and her
volunteering efforts at Community Cares. She is loved by
everyone who comes into the tea palace. But when a letter
comes from the home for unwed mothers seeking to reunite her
with the child she gave up for adoption forty years ago, her
world is shattered. She never told her husband or grown son.
Will they still love her when they find out?
Connie O'Callaghan is turning forty soon and is not content
with her single life. She's mourned the loss of her
relationship with Kevin for ten years. Is she resigned to
being an old-maid school teacher? Is there anyone who could
ever meet the standards she has set for a husband?
Eleanor is a retired psychoanalyst. As she watches these
three women from her window, she becomes interested in their
stories and gets involved in their lives. As she talks to
each woman, trying to help them get through their personal
crisis, she realizes that she too needs help to get past her
loss.
All four women are stuck in the past, running away. The
trouble with running away from your troubles is that your
troubles always come with you. Cathy Kelly has masterfully
woven the lives of these four women together and pulls you
right in with them. HOMECOMING is a heart-warming story
about love, friendship and finding peace in the midst of the
storms of life. I'm a fan!
Eleanor Levine left Ireland 70 years ago with little more
than a suitcase and her mother's handwritten recipe book.
Now, a lifetime later, she's returning from New York with
hard-won wisdom and memories of her own.
