Description
Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley is a poignant and hilarious story about loss and redemption. In the summer before his senior year of high school, Cullen Witter's life is turned upside down when his cousin overdoses, his town becomes obsessed with an extinct woodpecker's reappearance, and his sensitive brother Gabriel disappears.
As Cullen searches for answers, he must also confront the crisis of faith sparked by a young missionary's disillusion in Africa. The story weaves together two seemingly unrelated narratives into a surprising and harrowing climax. This extraordinary tale finds wonder in the ordinary and illuminates the hope of second chances.
