Homecoming

Returning Home Can Change Everything

In Homecoming, internationally bestselling author Cathy Kelly weaves a beautifully layered tale of love, forgiveness, and rediscovery. Set in the picturesque Irish town of Avalon, the novel follows four women—each facing a turning point, each searching for something they’ve lost along the way.

Eleanor Levine, once a celebrated New York therapist, has returned to Ireland after decades away, bringing with her memories and secrets. Rae is a talented artist, outwardly serene but silently unraveling. Her daughter, Naomi, is struggling with the heavy cost of ambition. And meanwhile, the dependable, devoted Connie is about to find her strength tested in unexpected ways. As their stories intertwine, each woman must confront her past to find the courage to embrace her future.

With her trademark warmth, insight, and compassion, Cathy Kelly invites readers into a world where hope lingers in every corner and the path home may lead to unexpected happiness.
