Homecoming — Marie Force

Who says you can't go home again?For years, Kara Ballard Torrington has kept her distance from the town in Maine where she was raised and the boisterous, often-troubled Ballard family. She's made a whole new life for herself on Gansett Island that is upended by a phone call in which she learns that two of her brothers have been accused of murder. When her parents ask her husband, celebrated attorney Dan Torrington, to come help them, Kara is forced to confront the drama she left behind in Maine as well as a whole new set of issues that have arisen in her absence. As Dan works to free her brothers, Kara confronts some of the unfinished business she left behind in Maine. One of our favorite couples from the Gansett Island Series takes a fraught journey to Kara's hometown, where their bond becomes even stronger as they face these new challenges together—with a goal of returning home to Gansett before their baby is born.For more about Dan & Kara's story, make sure you've read Dan & Kara: A Downeast Prequel.
