The Return by Marianne Evans


SOMETIMES THE HARDEST PATH TO WALK IS THE ONE THAT LEADS YOU HOME After college, Phillip Fisher shook the dust of Antioch, Indiana from his dress shoes and took off for Indianapolis. For the eldest of the three Fisher men, a business career promised stability and a fruitful future...until unemployment and exhausted resources force him back home.He returns to Antioch to find his father's declining health, a family farm in disrepair, and heavy doses of resentment from his brother Aaron.A repentant Phillip pays regular visits to Sundae Afternoon, the sweets and sundry shop run by Mila Thomas. Sundae Afternoon and the Thomas Grocery Market are staples of Antioch, just like the Fisher farm. A less than steady peace exists between the families, but Phillip always intrigued Mila. She admires his attempts to break free; at the same time, his return speaks of a noble, caring man. But what happens once the farm is restored? What happens when Phillip is called back to Indianapolis? Mila's roots are firmly grounded, and Phillip might leave all over again. Is returning home and the discovery of an extraordinary love, enough to bring them together forever?

My Review

Book one in the Fisher Men of Antioch . Well written book by Marianne Evans. Great characters. I really like Phillip Fisher. Very strong character.  Growing up in Indiana on a farm decides he wants more out of life. Leaves home to make a career for himself.  But things didn't work out as plan when he lost his job. Phillip decides to go back home and make amends with the family and go back where he feels where he belongs. But the path back home is usually not a very easy road. Leaving family behind, brother Aaron  shows him with a punch to his face how he feels about the oldest son just waltzing back into their lives. There is a  bit of a old romance from the pass can that fire be rekindled/ Wonderful book. Looking forward to book 2 in the series.
