When Jeff Comes Home

We all have fears. For the last 20 years, my biggest fear has been that someone would kidnap my only child, my reason for living, Greg. For the majority of those years he was hardly ever out of my sight. He never played in the front yard without me, I always knew where he was and who he was with. Even now out 20, he calls me when he is leaving town and when he gets back home (I love you for doing that, Greg) When Jeff Comes Home by Catherine Atkins stirs all of those fears.

Three years ago, Jeff was kidnapped at knife point. He is returned to his family and is expected to live a normal life. Oh my GOD!!!!! What is a normal life???? Jeff has a difficult time living with himself over what he did to stay alive. He constantly worries about his family and friends accepting what happened to him.

This book broke my heart and I wept for all the parents who have lost children and all the children who have lost their innocence to these vultures. This is a bold book and I couldn't recommend this to any age group except high school and up.
