Hellie Garmin is a struggling writer whose only friend in the world is her younger brother, Brent. She lives a strange and secluded life, observing rather than living, and therefore, has no real "plot" to draw from when writing "The Great American Novel." One day, when following a stray cat that she creates an entire storyline around, she ends up at a small church. She thinks it's kismet, that the gods are shining down on her, and she stumbles in, thinking it would make for a great story. But what she gets is a crash course in human nature and the power of God working in the most unlikely of circumstances. Told through the perspectives of Hellie and her recently deceased mother, Daisy, Return to Me is a humorous and bittersweet tale that gets to the root of family dynamics and the mental health struggles that sometimes ensue, emphasizing the redemption found in Jesus.
