A Mysterious Review of The Girl from Home by Adam Mitzner. A Novel of Suspense.
Review summary: There is certainly a lot of heartbreak here and the story is often moving, but the actions of the principal characters really make this a hard book to enjoy. There is also some intrigue, how it will all play out, as it were, but it comes about too late and may not be enough compensation for some readers. (Click here for text of full review.)

Publisher synopsis: Jonathan Caine is a true master of the universe — a currency wizard with a trophy wife, a penthouse condo with a view of the Statue of Liberty, and the desire for more — when his world comes crashing down, spiraling him into a relentless fall from grace. Devastated, Jonathan returns to his hometown to care for his ailing father and attend his twenty-fifth high school reunion, where he becomes reacquainted with former prom queen Jacqueline Williams. Back in the day, Jackie didn't even know Jonathan existed. Now she is intrigued by the man he has become. But their budding relationship has problems, not the least of which is Jackie's jealous and abusive husband. Jonathan is determined to learn from his mistakes, but is he capable of complete transformation? Or will a shocking temptation test his desire for redemption beyond anything he could have imagined?
