A young man turning 21 years of age is
told a story by his father; it is the
story of his family and how he came to
be named after his great grandfather.
The story starts in 1992 with a man by
the name of Mitch Collins sitting in a
doctor's office waiting for the bad news
that he's going to die. With only a few
months to live he embarks on a journey
across America to see some things for
the last time and to say goodbye. He has
lived a hard life with an estranged
family, but he's lived a full life.
Accompanying Mitch on this journey is
his grandson who he helped raise and a
young woman in search of her true
meaning. For Jonathan he will learn the
truth about his grandfather and learn to
live beyond the anger and resentment
he's had for him. For Mitch he will find
the forgiveness and redemption he's been
looking for all of his life. Along the
way theses three travelers will find one
important truth, no matter where we go
in life we all eventually return home.
Returning Home is about redemption and
finding forgiveness even when the
madness of our lives comes crashing down
upon us. It's also about doing what it
takes to make things right in our life
and how the strength and love of our
family can save us in our time of need.
This is Marcus Blake's poignant novel
about family and the tragic events that
surround family relationships; it is
dramatic realism centered on the human
condition that evolves within the family
unit. |
