1969– Set on the shores of the Albemarle Sound, April Harrington has fond memories of summers at her family home, Bliss. After her fairytale wedding disintegrates, it becomes her refuge—the one place where she can attempt to pull the unraveling threads of her life back together. Unbeknownst to April, the stately house has been neglected in recent years. The once-sturdy roof is leaking in a few dozen places, and the wharf is rotting. Nothing is the same as she remembers. Nothing except for Hale, a Viet Nam pilot who is haunted by a dreadful secret, and who is also her brother’s best friend, a brother killed in the conflict that is tearing the country apart.
In Hale’s presence, April finds familiarity and solace. They share grief for a lost loved one, and from the comfort of Hale’s arms, passion blooms. Yet, April’s future is unresolved. Her wealthy, arrogant almost-bridegroom wants her back and the ghosts of Viet Nam are whispering to Hale. Can they find new love in an old treasured home, the kind of affection and trust that lasts forever?

Home Again is the first of Kathleen Shoop’s book I’ve had the pleasure reading. I enjoy reading romance or more to the point historical romance, often. I normally prefer a full-fledged novel, however this novella fit perfectly into my time schedule in the doctors chair. Reading these days helps keep my mind upbeat!
Watching Hale and April come together and surpass the guilt they are both riddled with from the past was uplifting and heartwarming.
Brings to mind… what would happen if we were to return home again.
I will seek out Kathleen Shoop when I’m ready to shop for new additions to my ever-growing book collection.
