Who could have forseen that Doron  Gilboa's attempt to return his family to its roots would tear it apart? Certainly not his wife, Avital who longed for an added spiritual dimension to their lives. Nor did any of his three children- Shira sixteen, Segev twelve, and Michal, eight- dream that their comfortable happy home life was about to be destroyed.
    In Coming Home we join the Gilboa family on its painful journey- sharing the heartbreaking choices and difficult decisions each must make. Your Heart will go out to Michal, who tries so hard in her childish way to put the broken pieces back together again. You'll watch as Segev struggles to adapt himself to a new lifestyle. And you'll admire teenaged Shira's spirited determination, while crying for the loss she suffers.
    In this highly perceptive portrait of a family in distress, you'll find inspiration and meaning- as well  as insight into the building of a successful marriage.
     Leah Fried, author of numerous bestsellers and known to the English- speaking public for her acclaimed treatment of remarriage in I Can Call You Ima, once again crafts a masterful tapestry that explores a painful phenomena of our times.
    In Coming Home, Leah Fried, veteran teacher and leader of parenting groups, conveys the paramount values of the Jewish home in their truest sense.
