Where Home Is

By Karen J. Hasley

In 1910 Chicago, Katherine Davis, M.D., steps into the pulsing heart of progress with the certainty of a woman who has earned her place. At Hull-House, under the brilliant shadow of Jane Addams, Katherine treats the sick and the weary flooding the tenements, where hope is as scarce as clean air and every cure feels like a revolution. She believes science and conviction can set the world right-until the city tests not only her skill, but the values she thought unshakable. Amid the clang of factories and the swirl of new ideas, a dazzling presence enters her life: Douglas Gallagher, a self-made man whose success is matched only by his ruthless resolve to never look back. Drawn to his power and promise, Katherine must confront the widening rift between who she was raised to be and who she is becoming.
As tragedies and triumphs unfold in crowded wards and streets, Katherine wrestles with the dangerous allure of ambition and the delicate mercy of love. She is no longer the girl of her parents' quiet lessons, nor fully the woman the new century expects her to be. To follow Douglas could mean casting off the past for a future stitched with risk and brilliance; to turn back might save her soul-or cost her everything she has fought to build. When the people she serves, the man who challenges her, and the family she once knew all lay claim to her heart, Katherine must decide where home truly lives: in memory, in progress, or in the fragile space where duty and desire finally meet.
Bold, intimate, and emotionally resonant, Where Home Is illuminates the struggle of a courageous woman forging a path through love, loyalty, and a rapidly changing America-and discovers that the hardest journey is the one that leads you back to yourself.
Perfect for readers of Lisa Wingate, Kristin Hannah, and Jennifer Chiaverini.
