RETURNED, the second book in this series, is set in 1968. Readers will follow Rose's journey as she finds out who she really is. Will her love for the American missionary, Gabriel Parker, flourish or will their differences keep them apart? Work on Datka Island gets underway as the missionary team helps restore the Island after several young men destroyed homes and the school. These young men, one including Rose's brother, Andrew, spend the next few months running away from the destruction they caused, which only leads to further pain for the inhabitants of Datka. Love and war seem to define two on the missionary team. Ed and Jade are caught in a battle of wills and emotions as they try to work together and figure out their relationship. The newly developed Alaska State Troopers headquarters is troubled with problems of their own as Sergeant Will Walker does his best to help Datka and work to better his own community of Seal Harbor, Alaska. Will's authority, skills, and patience are tried as he does his best to aid his new friends of Datka. The inhabitants of Datka long for the return of some of their young people as they look to the future in hopes to better their community. New plans and new dreams are pursued as they work on the rebuilding projects with their missionary friends trying to undo the wrong that has been done to them. Book 2 will cause readers to fall in love with the characters and their plight.
