Two women struggle to come to grips with a past that haunts them in the poignant new novel from the author of 'The Saving Graces' and 'Circle Of Three'.
For sixteen years, Anna has studiously avoided her Aunt Rose. Exchanging cards at holiday time - that's as far as Anna is willing to go with the woman she once loved more than anyone else in the world. That love died the night Rose betrayed Anna and her mother - and Anna can't forgive or forget.
Years have passed since she's been back to her hometown on Maryland's Eastern Shore, where Rose still runs the family restaurant. Anna has built a life elsewhere with a job she likes and a man she loves. Or so she thought.
Another betrayal, another loss. Needing an escape, Anna has only one place to go: home to the family, to the restaurant, and to Rose who has been trying for more than a decade to regain Anna's trust. And right now, Rose needs her more than ever . . .
By turns touching, funny, moving and wise, 'Flight Lessons' is a story of truth and loyalty, of the bonds of family, love and friendship that shape and sustain us and, ultimately, uplift us.
