Where Home Is

By Karen J. Hasley

Book Overview

In 1910 Chicago, Dr. Katherine Davis steps into the charged world of Hull-House certain she knows her purpose. With renowned American social reformer Jane Addams and famed research scientist Dr. Alice Hamilton, Katherine treats the sick and exhausted who crowd the tenements, where every cure feels like a small revolution. She trusts in science, discipline, and the values that shaped her-until the city begins to test them all.

When Douglas Gallagher, a magnetic, self-made industrialist, enters her life, Katherine discovers a man whose ambition burns as brightly as the new century. His confidence unsettles her, his vision tempts her, and his presence forces her to confront the widening gap between the woman she was raised to be and the woman she is becoming.

As triumph and tragedy collide in crowded wards and restless streets, Katherine must navigate the perilous pull of ambition, the attraction of love, and the expectations of a world racing toward modernity. To follow Douglas may mean risking everything she has built; to turn back may cost her the future she longs for.

Where Home Is traces a courageous woman forging her own path through loyalty, longing, and a rapidly changing America, discovering that the hardest journey is the one that leads you back to your roots - and to yourself.
