Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner, 2010

Author of #1 New York Time Bestselling books such as In Her Shoes, Jennifer Weiner's novels seem to revolve around female characters who are undergoing moments of crisis.

Fly Away Home is no different.  Crises involved in this story are triggered by a scandal created by a philandering politician. 

His dedicated wife is left stunned.  In the meantime, her daughters are also going through crises of their own. 

It ends up that the "perfect" daughter is not leading as perfect a life as thought and the black sheep daughter continues to struggle to be understood by her family. 

With somewhat generic characters and story lines, the book reads quickly and is a good beach read. 

Predictable to the end, which emphasizes that it's never too late (or easy, as the way these things happen in novels and movies) to make changes, there is not much else of note about this book.
