Home Before Dark - Paperback

by Susan Wiggs (Author)

"Susan Wiggs paints the details of human relationships with the finesse of a master." --Jodi Picoult

#1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs captures the heartache of long-held regrets as one young woman comes to terms with her past...and reveals devastating secrets.

As an irresponsible young mother, Jessie Ryder knew she'd never be able to give her newborn the stable family that her older sister could, and the security her child deserved. So Luz and her husband adopted little Lila and told her that Jessie was but a distant aunt.

Sixteen years later, having traveled the globe with the winds of remorse at her back, Jessie is suspending her photojournalism career to return home--even if it means throwing her sister's world into turmoil. Her arrival is destined to expose the secrets and lies that barely held her daughter's adoptive family together, yet the truth can do so much more than just hurt: it can bring a new kind of honesty, shedding its light into the deepest corners of the heart.
