Harold and Lucille Hargrave's lives have been both joyful and
sorrowful in the decades since their eight-year-old son, Jacob,
died tragically in 1966. In their old age they've settled
comfortably into life without him.... Until one day Jacob
mysteriously appears on their doorstep--flesh and blood, still
eight years old.
All over the world people's loved ones are returning from beyond.
No one knows how or why, whether it's a miracle or a sign of the
end. Not even Harold and Lucille can agree on whether the boy is
real or a wondrous imitation. But as chaos erupts around the globe,
the newly reunited family finds itself at the center of a community
on the brink of collapse, forced to navigate a mysterious new
reality.
With spare, elegant prose and searing emotional depth,
award-winning poet Jason Mott explores timeless questions of faith
and morality, love and responsibility. A spellbinding and stunning
debut, The Returned is an unforgettable story that marks the
arrival of an important new voice in contemporary fiction.
