"The Heart's Homecoming" by Merrillee Whren was extremely interesting and a quick read.

Sam and Jillian were college sweethearts who planned to marry as soon as "Jilly" graduated. Jilly, however, had a change of heart and left Sam at the altar to go off and pursue her dreams of making it big in the computer/tech industry.

Years later, Sam is the youth pastor at the local church and Jilly is moving back to town to help her parents traverse a difficult family time. Jilly realizes that walking away from Sam was the biggest mistake she's made in life and would love to see if the can salvage or reignite their old love.

Sam, however, was heartbroken by Jilly walking away from him and is not ready to even consider it. Only the conviction of his heart that he must forgive her to live up to the example he's been teaching to the youth may open the door of opportunity for Sam and Jillian to find their way back to each other.

Merrillee Whren's The Heart's Homecoming is a tender story of self-realization and forgiveness between two people who have hurt one another and want to make it right. Sam and Jillian are aware of their mistakes and often stumble on the way to their separate redemptions before they can find one another again.

Whren's writing has a charm and simplicity that highlights the story and makes each twist in the tale believable. The minor characters are likeable and their "people next door" quality enhances the main plot of the book.

The Heart's Homecoming will warm your heart, too.
