Summary: Where things come back has a character by the
name of Cullen Witter who is welcomed by the unexpected death of his cousin who
dies of an overdose. Cullen attempts dating but is too heartbroken by the
sudden vanishing disappearance of his younger brother Gabriel. Cullen
eventually weds Ada but their marriage ends in separation because of the
shortage of love. The reappearance of his little brother Gabriel permits the
household potentially to be whole again.
Strengths:
Where things come back character Cullen meets the
criteria of emotional/mental development because he deals with a variety of
obstacles that don’t allow him to love anyone completely which makes this novel
overwhelmingly sad. The intended
audience for this book is readers of ages 14 and up.
