Home Again by Kristin Hannah
This book is about Madelaine and now that she's grown up with a 16 year old daughter the time has come. The father had walked away from her and their baby but she survived with help from his religious brother, Francis.
Angel is now on his deathbed because of his heart history and drinking, smoking, drugs, etc. Maddy is a transplant doctor-the top of the field and it's up to her to let him attempt to have a heart transplant. Her daughter wants to know who her father is...she starts acting out by stealing and getting caught from a local store.
Many recipients are not good enough or a match til one day a priest is leaving a family session and he gets in trouble on the road...
After the surgery she knows she will never tell him whose heart he has..
Maddie and her daughter Lina for Angelina must stay together and overcome the grief of losing Francis, Angel also. After his hospital release the women take him to a new place where nobody knows of him.
Lina makes new friends and she tells them who her father is and they all think it's a joke.
Maddie is faced with telling Angel the truth about the donor=before the press release the name he has to be told...
Love how the story also follows Angel's story and everything he is faced with..
