Homecoming
Determined to unite all the members of her estranged family, Byrne family matriarch Annette invites them for a weekend. Will her two sons, haunted by a divisive court case in which one testified against the other, resume speaking to each other? Will Annette's granddaughter Cynthia let go of her bitterness toward the unfaithful husband she plans to divorce? And will Ellen's interfaith marriage to Mark finally be accepted?by both their families? It takes more than good intentions to bring this divided clan back together in this uplifting little novel, which is quite different from Plain's (Secrecy, LJ 3/15/97) long family sagas and perfect reading for the holiday season.
