Ava Comes Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781551098609)

From the author of Relative Happiness and Shoot Me comes a riveting story about one terrible secret--a secret kept in shame, buried deep for self-preservation, and exposed in a moment that changes forever the lives of everyone involved.

Ava Harris is a famous actress living the life of the rich and fabulous in L.A. when a family crisis calls her home. It's been ten years since she's set foot in Glace Bay, Cape Breton--back when she was plain old Libby MacKinnon. Why she ran away, no one knows. Returning home, she must face her family, her friends, and her first love, Seamus O'Reilly, whose heart broke the day she left.

Ava is a good little actress, determined that no one will know what happened. She will keep the truth buried at all costs--even if she has to run again. But secrets have a way of surfacing, especially in a small town, and love has a way of blasting through the toughest barriers. While Ava can never go home again, perhaps Libby finally can.
