Life can change in a matter of moments, as eighteen-year-old Mary Ellen finds out when her parents are killed in a tragic plane crash and she is faced with the loss, the pain, and the rebuilding of her life.  This dislocation becomes the primary dramatic centerpiece to Maggie Ann Ross’ She Came Home, a book that enters the readers emotions like it’s heroine does in its pages, with heartbreaking beauty, the sense of love in memory that will never come again, and a faint, tremulous hope for a future blown by the bitter winds of fate.
