Return to Home by Kimberly Craft

About the Book:

When the world begins to unravel, where do you run?

For the Calloways, there has always been one answer: home.

Across America, something is going terribly wrong. Supply chains are failing. Civil unrest is spreading. Institutions people once trusted are beginning to fracture. And one by one, the scattered members of the Calloway family realize the safest place left may be the Mississippi ranch where they were raised.

But getting home is only the beginning.

As danger closes in and the country they recognize begins to change around them, old wounds, difficult choices, and buried fears follow them through the gate. And while one member of the family uncovers something far more troubling behind the growing chaos, the Calloways must decide what they're willing to risk to protect the people they love.

My Review:

Craft has an engaging writing style. I like how she was able to create the disturbing national situation through the observations and thoughts of the characters. Parts of society falling apart, strange reactions by people to unusual events, and an underlying unrest are of concern. The members of the Calloway family each have the feeling that something is not right. People were losing confidence in things they used to take for granted. (214) It seemed there was an overarching effort to get people to no longer trust each other.

The Calloway ranch is a haven in the midst of the unrest. People come together and community is formed. The head of the family encourage those who arrive to trust God in the midst of the scary circumstances. Family solidifies as the importance of people over possessions is clear. This is a good novel exploring the importance of family and faith when the world seems to be crumbling. There will be more novels in this series and I will be watching for them.

My rating: 4/5.
