Flight Lessons - Softcover
From the extraordinary Patricia Gaffney,New York Times bestselling author of The Saving Graces and Circle of Three, comes a poignant and wise story of truth and loyalty, of the bonds that shape, sustain, and ultimately uplift us.
Anna has studiously avoided her aunt Rose -- the woman she once loved more than anyone else in the world -- ever since the night Rose betrayed Anna and her mother, Rose's own fatally ill sister. In the sixteen years that have passed, Anna has built another life for herself far from her hometown on Maryland's Eastern Shore, but she can't forgive or forget.
Now another betrayal, by a faithless lover, has brought Anna back to her family's restaurant, where Rose needs her estranged niece's help -- and trust -- more than ever before. Determined to leave as soon as the struggling business is back on its feet and her own hurt is healed, Anna joins Rose in the kitchen of the Bella Sorella, where values clash and generations collide -- and outside, where their personal lives become entangled in surprising ways. Yet Anna is resolved to remain unaffected by Rose's longing to undo the past -- even though her resistance could blind her to a true and unexpected love that's reaching out to grab her by the heart.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Patricia Gaffney's novels include The Goodbye Summer, Flight Lessons, and The Saving Graces. She and her husband currently live in Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania.
After a devastating breakup, Anna Catalano reluctantly agrees to return to Maryland's Eastern Shore to become the manager of her Aunt Rose's restaurant, the Bella Sorella. Anna and Rose have been estranged for years because of what Anna sees as Rose's betrayal, and Anna must overcome her childish resentment to make a new life for herself. Jennifer Van Dyck's soft soprano excels with the humorous scenes between the restaurant's self-taught, gorgon of a chef and the new hire, a culinary-school graduate with adventurous tastes. But Van Dyck is often inaudible when voicing the male characters. Gaffney's strength once again lies in her presentation of relationships between women.
