Growing up Sarah just wanted to be loved, but she went about it in the worst possible way. If Sarah could turn back the hands of time she would not have made so many mistakes. She wants her daughter Bridget's last years in high school to be smooth and trouble free, unlike the poverty and homelessness Sarah grew up with. Most of all she does not want Bridget to become a mother before she is a woman.
However, Bridget -- bright and determined, yet doubting her own worth -- has her own vision for her life, one that is full of the young man she adores.
Sarah's fierce determination to overcome her wild, party girl past and create a conventional future jeopardizes what is most precious to her. Can Sarah keep her hopes for her daughter's success from crushing Bridget's dreams, while at the same time making peace with her own unfulfilled desires?
In her debut novel Leah Mullen vividly brings to life the love and pain shared by a regretful mother and an impatient daughter. Set in the go-go mid 1980s Again and Again explores a crucial time in the lives of two women who answer the age old question:
With mothers and daughters does the fruit fall far from the tree?
