The Return

by Mariah Martin

Members of a Rhode Island family are confronted with the shadow cast by a long hidden crime. Jack Fitzsimmons, the family patriarch, brings the truth to light. Emma Quinn, successful attorney, grapples with how to weave all those affected by the crime into a web of caring and truth before it’s too late for healing. Emma Quinn is asked to discreetly draw up the living will of her employer and mentor, Jack Fitzsimmons. Because of the will’s content, she is torn between her loyalty to him and her loyalty to his daughter, Anne, who is her best friend. Jack's intention is to use the living will to manipulate his estranged daughter, Julie, into returning to the family home after a thirty year absence. The Fitzsimmons and those who love them, are forced to deal with long suppressed memories and emotions.
