About the Book

The New York Times bestselling author of HOW TO BE LOST delivers her most ambitious work to date. HOMECOMING is a novel about motherhood, desire, and faith, set amongst the changing lives of Americans along the border, and featuring two women who connect just for an instant and change each other's lives forever.

About the Author :
Amanda Eyre Ward is the critically acclaimed author of five novels, including the bestseller How to Be Lost. She has spent the last year visiting shelters in Texas and California, meeting immigrant children and hearing their stories. Maria Cabezas has lent her considerable talents to literary works by some of the world's top authors including Andrea Beaty, Frances O'Roark Dowell and Isabel Allende and titles including The Girl Who Threw Butterflies, Drizzle and The Second Life of Abigail Walker to name a few. Thérèse Plummer is an actor, award-winning voice-over artist, and counselor. She has won eighteen AudioFile Earphones Awards and has been a finalist for the prestigious Audie Award for best narration. She has appeared in a variety of television and film roles. As a counselor for adolescents, she spent five years using drama therapy techniques in individual and group settings.

Review :

"The Same Sky is the timeliest book you will read this year--a wrenching, honest, painstakingly researched novel that puts a human face to the story of undocumented youth desperately seeking their dreams in America. This one's going to haunt me for a long time--and it's going to define the brilliant Amanda Eyre Ward as a leading author of socially conscious fiction."

-- "Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of House Rules"

"Eyre's wrenching fifth novel is a study in contrasts between a middle-class woman in Texas and a young girl in Honduras...Poignant and bittersweet...Carla's journey is powerfully rendered and will stick with readers long after they close the book."

-- " Publishers Weekly"

"Riveting, heart-rending, and beautifully written, The Same Sky pulled me in on the first page and held my attention all the way to its perfect conclusion. I devoured this book."

-- "Christina Baker Kline, author of Orphan Train"

"This nuanced story about an eleven-year-old Honduran girl captures the fear--and incredible courage--that compels her to set out on a dangerous quest to find her mother in America."

-- "BookPage"

"Ward writes with great empathy; Carla's narrative is particularly page-turning and awful, but it doesn't make Alice's problems any less resonant. Both stories ask questions about what it means to be a survivor. Large amounts of dramatic material nudge the novel toward the sentimental, but it's pulled back by Ward's narrative skill. The spare tone adds urgency to the pacing and suggests a steely reserve on each protagonist's part. Earnest and well told. Heartstrings will be pulled."

-- "Kirkus Reviews"
