Fly Away Home
Sometimes all you can do is fly away home . . .
When Sylvie Serfer met Richard Woodruff in law school, she had wild curls, wide hips, and lots of opinions. Decades later, Sylvie has remade herself as the ideal politician’s wife—her hair dyed and straightened, her hippie-chick wardrobe replaced by tailored knit suits. At fifty-seven, she ruefully acknowledges that her job is staying twenty pounds thinner than she was in her twenties and tending to her husband, the senator.
Lizzie, the Woodruffs’ younger daughter, is at twenty-four a recovering addict, whose mantra HALT (Hungry? Angry? Lonely? Tired?) helps her keep her life under control. Still, trouble always seems to find her. Her older sister, Diana, an emergency room physician, has everything Lizzie failed to achieve—a husband, a young son, the perfect home—and yet she’s trapped in a loveless marriage. With temptation waiting in one of the ER’s exam rooms, she finds herself craving more.
After Richard’s extramarital affair makes headlines, the three women are drawn into the painful glare of the national spotlight. Once the press conference is over, each is forced to reconsider her life, who she is and who she is meant to be.
Written with an irresistible blend of heartbreak and hilarity, Fly Away Home is an unforgettable story of a mother and two daughters who after a lifetime of distance finally learn to find refuge in one another.

What can I say but awesome. I was hooked right from the beginning. I've already haver read 4 of your other books. So now I must go and find another one to read! I love your books you are one of the best, and it started reading again about 8 months ago when my grand baby and her mother left, but they returned home after 4months. During that time I became depressed and turned to reading on my iPad. I continue my favorite hobby to this day, and have passed the most important thing to my 2 year old granddaughter is to read to her every night, like I did with my 2. Sons when they were little. Thank you. Charmaine

Long after I read this book, it is still a story that sticks with me. I thought this was one of Weiner's more serious novels, but it was a great read. I think she is such an amazing storyteller with really well developed characters to whom you can relate. I would definitely recommend this book!

I had the hardest time listening to the narrator, her voice was too coarse. I loved the narrator on many TV shows but not this. The story was ordinary, predicable, slow, unbelievable. Don't waste your time or money, there are so many good books to read!
