Book Overview

Once they had it all: a home with a man who adored her, three children they cherished, a life filled with passion and promise.

Until one troubled child cost them everything.

After a childhood of constant upheaval, all Cleo Formby wanted was to put down roots, to fill a house with family and love. When Malcolm Channing swept into her life, she gained it all: the home, the children, the love of a good man who adored her--

Until their firstborn daughter tore their family apart, and even the love between Cleo and Malcolm wasn't strong enough to survive the devastation.

Five years later, that daughter returns, destitute--with a child in tow. Cleo and Malcolm are thrown together again...and realize that their love has never died.

But both have ties to others now, and their daughter is no less troubled than before. Being in constant proximity yet unable to be together is a constant heartache, but the welfare of this little grandson has to take first place.

When Malcolm's new life is shattered by treachery, can he and Cleo overcome the wounds of the past and find their way back to the magic that once filled the house that love built?

(A companion story to The Road Back Home, a different perspective of the story seen through Ria's eyes and going beyond)

"Jean Brashear's distinctive storytelling voice instantly draws in the reader. She writes with warmth and emotional truth." #1 NY Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber

Family in crisis; love revived

This book is the first in Brashear's trilogy recounting the same events (basically) from three different points of view. The plot concerns the pain and recovery of a family which has fallen apart after a daughter's decision to drive drunk costs the life of her adored younger brother. When this oldest daughter shows back up years later, teetering on the razor-edge of starvation and despair, with a child of her own in tow, chaos erupts and old wounds are reopened. Specifically, this book focuses on Cleo and Malcolm Channing, the parents who deal with their prodigal daughter's return, and the growing awareness that, despite divorce and tremendous anger and pain, their own love has never completely died. This book is not by any means a light read, but it is realistic and powerful--and worth your time. Especially memorable is the fact that the lead couple are grandparents!
