SummaryNO PLACE LIKE HOME tells the unforgettable story of a
family bound together by tradition--and the emotional
journey of an
estranged daughter risking everything for a second chance at
life and
love.
Twenty-one years ago, Jewel Sabatino left her childhood
behind and never
looked back. After a magical taste of fame, she found
herself alone with
a son to raise and not much else. She survived with the help
of Michael,
her one true friend. But now Michael is too sick to care for
himself and
Jewel has run out of options. She leaves New York for the
hills of
Colorado, unsure if the family she ran from will welcome her
back.
For Jewel, coming home is falling back into a world that
smells of
Italian restaurants and home-baked pies. It is the laughter
of sisters
preparing for a summer wedding, and the peaceful haven for a
treasured
soul mate's last days. It also means facing the unforgiving
eyes of a
father betrayed by his favorite child--and letting go of a
son who is
ready to become a man. But most of all, it is the love she
discovers in
her own wary heart when Michael's brother Malachi
unexpectedly arrives
on her doorstep.
