Going Home Again?
Eli, a famous hockey player, has returned home, for the first time in over a decade. He didn’t leave on good terms. Despite making thousands of dollars, he is penniless, hungry, homeless, and jobless.
Only his mother, Mama Potts, is happy to see Eli, his two brothers stare daggers at him. Even Violet, who he doesn’t know, and has become an honorary part of his family, acts like she hates him. Despite that, Eli stays because he has nowhere else to go.
He finds his mother has started a successful pottery business. She, with Violet’s help, has been making enough money during the three-month tourist season to support them. The day Eli returns, Mama Potts’ business burns down ruining most of their inventory, the kiln and her store–and tourist season is very soon.
As Eli tries to make a life for himself, and Violet tries to find places to sell what pottery they do have, their paths cross a lot. They are both dealing with secret, difficult situations. Together, they help the island’s hockey team, and discover a place that is right out of a fairy tale.
Will Eli or Violet ever share the things they are hiding with each other? Will Eli be able to keep himself and his family safe from a threatening loan shark along with his dangerous enforcer? Will either of their families ever want them back?
This story stands on its own despite being part of a series. The different locations in the book are really enchanting, and while reading, you feel like you have traveled there. A lot is added to the story by some characters suggesting God could help them. I recommend this five-star book to those who enjoy finding family skeletons, family drama, or page turning stories!
