Coming Home (abridged ed)

"Jessica Lehman, world-weary and despondent, takes an impulsive detour to visit her hometown and discovers more than she anticipated.

A single purchase in a quaint gift shop becomes the catalyst for reviving long-buried memories of her tragic childhood, mixed with happier memories of her first sweetheart, who had always promised to "rescue her from dragons." Her childish hope for the fairy tale "happy ending" had been dashed years ago, and Jessie now finds herself at a crossroads, fighting her last battle alone.

Can she renew her faith in a God who seemingly abandoned her?

Is the deepest desire of her heart--to love and be loved--lost forever?
