Who says
you can't go home? Isn't that a question
people ask themselves. I haven't been
back to the place I grew up in on Long Island for almost twenty five
years.
It isn't as if I don't want to go
home, I loved growing up where I did. It
is more like there is nothing there for me anymore. My parents and my brother and his family
moved to New Jersey which really blows my mind.
I didn't think people who were born and grew up in New York move to New
Jersey and yet they all did. All my
aunts and uncles and cousins no longer live there either. So truly going back would mean starting over
and I could easily do that anywhere. Why
not try something new.
Nora is a
Gastroenterologist with a hunky doctor as her boyfriend, at a Boston Hospital that happens. That is why when
she gets struck by a truck and ends up in his ER her life changes. Through the pain she becomes conscious only
to find him flirting with a very pretty intern.
That put an
end to their relationship. No surprise
there. She decides that she will recover
by going home to the place where she grew up. But home for Nora means a lot of bad memories. Even so she does go back and while she heals physically she also heals mentally. Oh and yes she finds romance along the way.
