Return to Summit Falls #1
Going Home
Will Maggie and Adam decide on the resort and cabins at the lake for their new business venture…or the gorgeous Victorian house with its perfect Bed & Breakfast atmosphere.
Years ago four young men left their hometown of Summit Falls. Each of them ready to take on whatever the world had to throw at them. Now, years later, two of them are coming home.
Jonah Sutherland has made public service his life’s work. It may not have been his plan when he walked away from Summit Falls all those years ago but it remains his focus even as he makes plans to travel south and return to the city of his youth.
He’s learned a lot over the years in his chosen profession but he’s never lost sight of his own ideals and standards that were instilled in him not just by his parents, by the brothers related to him in all ways but blood, but also by the small southern town he grew up in and the people he was surrounded by. All that makes going home to Summit Falls the perfect choice.
Adam Dane spent years doing everything he could to put Summit Falls in his rear view mirror. Once he finally did he made no secret that he was never going back.
It’s been twenty years, and he’s about to walk away from the career that brought him numerous awards and accolades. No one is more surprised than Adam when it turns out that Summit Falls is his next destination.
His greatest hope is that he is able to keep Maggie from seeing how he really feels about her…how he’s always felt about her.
Summit Falls is a small town in the middle of nowhere that could be anywhere. It’s small enough that even though you might not know everyone…you know who everyone is. And they know you.
Going Home is the first in the Return to Summit Falls series. It is the story of four men who learned from childhood that not all family ties are those we are born to. Going Home is about how life, family, and the things most important to us can change in a single day…a single moment. And how those we are closest to and know best can still surprise us the most.
The Return to Summit Falls series celebrates both older and younger heroines and heroes, sweet wholesome love stories, and the courage to face the twist and turns that life can toss out every single day.
If you enjoy women’s fiction, stories about family-life filled with both difficult and humorous moments, later-in-life romance, this may be the series for you.

About the author
Jacie Middlemann
400 books161 followersI fell in love with books when I was in the 4th grade and my free period was spent volunteering in the school library. I read every Nancy Drew book there was to check out, discovered collections of myths and fairy tales from around the world, Louisa May Alcott and C.S. Lewis, and decided I wanted my own library. By the end of that summer with the supplies our school librarian graciously provided me my books had due date slips, card pockets, book cards, and black electrical tape on the spine with the first three letters of the author's last name. I still have most of those books.
In the hope she could get me involved in something else my mother gave me a camera. Right around the same time my father told me I could use his typewriter when he wasn't using it. The typewriter won. We shared his typewriter but I also filled notebooks with stories scribbled before school, after school, and often when I was supposed to be asleep. Thanks to my mother, who saved just about every single one of those notebooks, I still have them as well.
Several years ago my father gave me his typewriter…the same one we shared all those summers ago. Every time I look at it I remember the young 4th grade girl who was quietly encouraged to do what she loved…and years later reminded with a box filled with notebooks crammed full of handwritten stories and dreams.
And it’s still not unheard of that I stay up way later than I should with a good book that’s just impossible to put down.

Boring
I could not finish it. The book opened with a premise of a deep dark secret surrounded a man who was running for president. This untold secret went on for pages and pages. It turns out the secret was a 5&10 can't store item for which he worked off with the store owner. What a laugh when we have a current president who has committed multiple crimes and still is president.

Again I give this author a poor rating simply because I'm left hanging in the middle of the story. I feel like if I really get caught up only to find that I have to purchase the next book...well, where I come from, that's called a "hook". I won't buy the next book just for a story that's similar to a hundred others.

Nice story
This was a short sweet tale about returning to your roots. The joys of the knowing that you belong to that past and being in tune with it. Lovely heartwarming and down to earth.

Interesting storyline about the congressman who becomes disillusioned with the system after 20 years in office and resigns to go back there his small hometown and a different life.

This is one of the most boring books I have ever attempted to read. This book is like being in a group of people that don't even hide the fact they are a clique. I read half, and gave up, something I rarely do.
