In Fly Away Home, Weiner introduces us to three unforgettable women, Sylvie Woodruff and her two daughters, Diana and Lizzie. When Sylvie's husband, Senator Richard Woodruff, has an extramarital affair that makes national headlines, the three women are drawn into the painful glare of the national spotlight. Once the press conference is over, each is forced to reconsider their lives, who they are and who they are meant to be. Written with an irresistible blend of heartbreak and hilarity, Fly Away Home is an unforgettable story of a mother and two daughters who after a lifetime of distance finally learn to find refuge in one another.
