Louey Levy's Heading Home Genie Abrams

The scrappy Jewish kid who captivated readers in Louey Levy's Greatest Catch and Louey Levy's Perfect Pitch is now headed back to Newburgh, the city that never really left her. Before she can get home, though, she has to go through a few things: a crazy career as a journalist and labor activist; volunteering simultaneously for both Special Olympics and Planned Parenthood; becoming a mother; a failed marriage; and much more. Finally it's resilience, compassion and maybe a little shove from G-d that point her to her true love and her true self. Fans will rejoice to know that Heading Home includes a new "Three Kid Detectives" story, and there's no doubt that readers will find this Abrams novel to be a funny, touching and perfect culmination of the Louey Levy trilogy.
