The Homecoming - Walsh, Dan

. .

Résumé :
Sometimes the journey home leads somewhere unexpected.
In a world at war, two wounded hearts dare to hope again.
One survived the war... but not the loss of the woman he loved.
Three lives bound by grief. Separated by duty.
Drawn together by the hand of God.

It's January, 1944. Major Sean Collins has returned from the war a hero -but heroes aren't immune to heartbreak. Grieving the loss of his beloved wife, Sean struggles to reconcile his faith with a God who spared his life in combat, only to send him home to face life alone. But Sean is not totally alone. He's rebuilding his relationship with his father, Ian Collins, and he still has his young beloved son, Patrick.

Katherine Townsend is fighting her own quiet battles. After losing her job as a social worker, she accepts Sean's offer to become Patrick's nanny, agreeing to the professional distance he insists upon. But as the months pass, her boundary walls begin to weaken. She's already fallen for Patrick, but now she finds her heart opening to his father, Sean. A love that she knows can never be. While Katherine discovers a faith she never knew she needed, Sean finds his carefully guarded heart slowly awakening to the possibility of loving once again.

But circumstances threaten to pull them apart. Soon, Sean must face a truth he's tried very hard to deny - before the woman he loves walks out of his life forever. Sometimes... coming home means risking everything you thought that mattered to grab hold of what matters most....
