Fly Away Home

About the book

Sometimes the only option is to fly back home...

When Sylvie Serfer first met Richard Woodruff in law school, she had untamed curls, a curvy figure, and strong opinions. Now, decades later, Sylvie has transformed herself into the perfect politician's spouse - her hair straightened and dyed, her bohemian wardrobe replaced with elegant knit suits. At fifty-seven, she begrudgingly admits that her main job is to stay twenty pounds lighter than her younger self and cater to her husband, the senator.

Lizzie, the Woodruffs' younger daughter, is a recovering addict at twenty-four, relying on the HALT mantra (Hungry? Angry? Lonely? Tired?) to manage her life. Despite her efforts, trouble always seems to come knocking. Meanwhile, Diana, the older sister and an ER doctor, seems to have it all - a husband, a son, a beautiful home - yet is stuck in a loveless marriage. Temptation lurks in the ER, leading her to yearn for something more.

When Richard's affair becomes public knowledge, the three women are thrust into the harsh spotlight of national attention. Once the cameras stop rolling, they are each forced to reevaluate their lives, identities, and aspirations.

With a perfect mix of heartbreak and humor, Fly Away Home tells the unforgettable story of a mother and her two daughters who, after years of estrangement, finally discover solace and support in each other.
