My Review:
Kate can't believe that the day has finally arrived to welcome home her love after he has been gone all this time fighting in the war. Even though the boys of war coming home could cost her a lot, she doesn't mind if she has his loving arms to run to.
Jay is is back home and surrounded by all of those that love him and that have missed him all these years. He is plagued with the events from the war. He has absolutely no rest from the thoughts in his head. How will he ever overcome these troubling things in his mind?
With Mike back home, Evangeline is ready to get back to a normal life. She wants to have the home of her dreams and family, but is her beloved ready for a normal life?
Mike thinks that he has it all. He is simply overjoyed to still be alive and the only thing that would make this life anymore worthwhile would be if he become pastor of the local church.
Victoria is happy to see the boys coming home, but she can't help but feel a little sour about it. Since her husband was one of the casualties of war--when he lost his life as a prisoner of war, she can barely control the tears that threaten her sanity.
Lorena feels the need to finally seek out her birth parents. Singing in church isn't enough, she wants to find them in order to show them what she has become.
The story of Love Comes Home, is a poignant story of several lives touched by the cost of war. Whether big or small, the war in its own way touches the hearts and lives of many and the author chose to show us just how much. Whether it was a happy time, sad time, or a time full of anger each one of the characters seemed very raw and very real. The people of Rosy Corner led a sweet, simple existence and I wouldn't mind visiting them again!
