Home or Away Book Review

“Home or Away ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. Once Leigh and Susy were close friends and teammates bound for Olympic hockey gold, but when Leigh’s sure-fire plan to make the final roster backfired, she left everything behind to start over, including the one person who knew her secret. Two decades later, Leigh’s a successful investment banker, happily married, and the mom of a hockey prodigy, so when a career opportunity lands the family back in Minnesota, Leigh takes the shot for her kid. Back in the ultra-competitive world she left behind, the move puts her in Susy’s orbit, a daily reminder of how Leigh watched from the sidelines as her former teammate went on to Olympic glory. Despite the coldness between them, Susy can’t help but hope that Leigh might lace up her skates and join her in the coaches’ box—after all Leigh knows better than anyone how hard it is to be a woman in this world. Susy knows soon her daughter, Georgie, will be seen as a “girl athlete,” relegated to the B team, with less support and opportunity to advance.

Brief Summary Home or Away by Kathleen West

This story carries a fair bit of hockey lingo, and a strong focus on the competitive sport, and I appreciated the attention to detail concerning what it takes to train as an Olympic hopeful, and what that entails for parents. The primary strength of the story is in its character relationships, both positive and negative, and the secrets that build and unravel between Leigh, Susy, and their old coach are well-layered throughout the unfolding drama. Home or Away is the story of a hockey mom’s dreams built up, dashed, revived by her child, and secrets dredged up from the past threatening all she dared to build and hope for. Recommended for readers who are interested in competitive endeavors, competitive rivalry, Olympic stories, old secrets that affect the present, and the struggles of women to be taken seriously in specific male-dominated sports.
