I am Ayah

The Way Home

By: Donna Hill

Narrated by: Bianca Drew

Alessandra Fleming has spent most of her life running from her past. Her budding photography career, her life in Manhattan, all serve to distract from the secrets and guilt she's never been able to face. Then the call. Her estranged father is in the hospital . . . and Alessandra must return home to Sag Harbor, crumbling the first wall between her past and her present.

For some, coming home is a relief. For Alessandra, it's a reminder of the family she's lost, of the time she'll never regain. But the answers—the secrets—of her family are hidden in the house, waiting for her. And the only one who may be able to help her uncover them is her father's neighbor, Zach, who brings with him an attraction that's intense and instantaneous.

Now Alessandra is being pulled back not only into her own complex family history, but into the richly documented lives of four extraordinary women. Generations touched by tragedy and triumph, despair and hope. And it's in these aching echoes of the past that Alessandra's own story—her mistakes and her capacity to love—will take shape, guiding her to the life she's meant to live . . . and the extraordinary person she will become.

Contains mature themes.

A beautiful story

A beautiful story of connecting to heritage. A worthy read. It's a blend of historical, fiction, and steamy romance, but tied into the theme of finding, connecting and accepting one's heritage and moving forward with a hopeful future.
