Coming Home

Coming Home closes Penny Jordan's ten-book Crighton Family saga with a genuinely moving redemption arc. David Crighton — who disappeared years earlier after embezzling from a client — returns to the English village of Haslewich having spent his exile in Jamaica working alongside a Jesuit priest with the sick and dying. His reintegration into family life, and his unexpected romance with herbalist Honor Jessop, give the novel real emotional texture. Faith-inclined readers may find the charity-work backstory unexpectedly resonant. The practical caveat is straightforward: this is the tenth book in a series, and arriving here without that history means missing much of the family context. Adult romance content is present throughout, consistent with the Mills & Boon line. For series readers, it's a warm, satisfying conclusion.
