The Home We Return To
The Home We Come To - A Story of Love, Loss, and Home The Montgomery farm is more than just land-it is history, sacrifice, and the thread that binds a family together. But time has worn down its foundations, just as it has worn down the people who built it. Sebastian and Olivia Montgomery have spent their lives nurturing this place, watching their children grow and leave, each chasing dreams that took them far from home. Now, as their anniversary approaches, they wait, hearts heavy with hope and fear, knowing that this gathering may not only bring their children back-it may force them all to face the truths they've been running from. Jackson, their eldest, fights for the farm like it's his own beating heart, but the battle is taking everything from him. His wife, Rose, stands beside him, but for how much longer? Their love is strained, their dream of a family slipping further away. Can they find their way back to each other, or is love not enough? Vivian, torn between the life she built in the UK and the home that still whispers her name, wonders if she's been living a lie. Everton and Elizabeth, twins once inseparable, now face a future that may pull them apart. Alison, the daughter who disappeared, returns with three children and more baggage than just the past. Her eldest, Rachel, is filled with anger. Alan longs for a father who never truly saw him. And little Jacob, untouched by pain, holds onto joy like it's the only thing that matters. As they gather, old wounds resurface. Secrets threaten to break them. Choices must be made-about love, about family, about what home truly means. And in the midst of it all, Olivia keeps her greatest secret of all-she is sick, and time is running out. This is a story of heartbreak and healing, of a home that has seen laughter and loss. A story of whether love can mend what has been broken and whether, after everything, the Montgomerys can still find their way back-to each other, and to the home they come to.Complete
Shattered
⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13Complete
