The Return
She Promised to Return to Her Roots. But Will It Cost Her Everything?
They say love will set you free, but do the orphans of war ever really experience that freedom?
Ambitious and dedicated, Jackie Coles is the shining success story of a once abandoned child.
But as her 40th year approaches, the realisation that something is missing in her life is overwhelming. How can someone who has everything lead such an empty life?
Rescue pilot, Jeff Hunter, fell in love with Jackie the first time they met. Years later, a chance meeting brings all those same feelings flooding back.
When Jackie’s stepfather falls ill, she makes him a promise that she will return to the country of her birth and meet the family who abandoned her as a baby. But what will she find in Vietnam? The answer to her loneliness? A truth she never knew she was searching for?
And what about Jeff? He’s more than perfect and falling in love with him is far too easy.
But what if Jackie’s trip back to Vietnam threatens to destroy every chance at happiness with Jeff? Will she have to choose who she can love and who she can’t? Or will Jeff make that choice for her?
Book 5 in the Nam Series is an emotional story of discovery, loss and second chances. The Return is Jackie’s story.
Reviews
Absolutely enjoyed The Return. It was delightful to catch up with Jackie and the story was both joyous and touching. I shed a few tears. A truly great read. It’s 5 stars from me.
So real and captivating, a story I will not forget!
Carole Brungar has managed to do it again, to create another highly emotional journey that takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery.
The Return to Nam series has been one of the best series I’ve read.
This was a wonderful ending to this series, I wish it could keep going.
A memorable, heartbreaking, tragic love story!
The characters are beautifully crafted and include ‘real’ personality traits and behaviours that include fierce emotional reactions, fear based worries and honest modern day relationships.
I highly recommend this novel and the preceding novels in this series and though you can read it as a standalone, you will get the full feeling for this series if you read it from the beginning.
A wonderful piece of writing that I can highly recommend.
Award-winning
