The Homecoming

Thunder Point, Book 6

By: Robyn Carr

Narrated by: Therese Plummer

At the age of 19, Seth Sileski had everything. A superb athlete and scholar, handsome and popular, he was the pride of Thunder Point. Destined for greatness, he lost it all in a terrible accident that put an end to his professional football career when it had barely begun. The people in his hometown have never forgotten what might have been. Seth has come to terms with the turns his life has taken. But now he's been presented with an opportunity to return home and show his father - and the people of Thunder Point - he's become a better, humbler version of his former self. Winning over his father isn't the only challenge. Seth must also find a way to convince his childhood neighbor and best friend, Iris McKinley, to forgive him for breaking her heart. With his homecoming, will Seth be able to convince the town, his family, and especially Iris that he's finally ready to be the man who will make them all proud?

Abrupt Ending again

I find the ending of all these books very abrupt and not well thought out.

Another enjoyable one…

…from skillful Robyn Carr’s the Thunder Point series. The Homecoming could be read or listened to as a stand alone book, but more enjoyable if you’ve read the others up to this book 6. I’ll not recap the story or go into details here — many other reviewers have done this service. But, I will say that Ms Carr does a great job of following through on her characters that she’s introduced previously in her books in this series and each book at least mentions or elaborates on the ongoing characters’ storylines. Though each one is based around the community of Thunder Point on the Oregon coast, she ensures that the characters she brings in introduce varying careers, histories, interests and associated outside locales that add to the color and somewhat of a uniqueness to each book.

Also, along with it being another good story The Homecoming is ensured to be enjoyable with the narration of Therese Plummer. Glad that she’s been the consistent reader for this entire series, as she’s good in differentiating the various characters and you can relax and just happily listen as you know she’ll do a flawless delivery, sans any personal quirks, affectations or irritating faux pas.

nice installment

Possible Spoilers:
We get a nice story of the new Thunder Point Deputy in Charge Seth Sileski who is someone worthy of replacing Mac. He sounds like someone I’d like to personally have as a friend or neighbor.
Iris comes off as a bit too flaky, but I like how she’s portrayed as a dedicated high school counselor.
And, at the end of the day, Seth and Iris fit.
Plummer does a great job of narration.

The depth of the story

I like that she had strong characters and dealt with a very difficult subject matter in a very positive way and I love that there was a happy ending

over all performance

I loved it, loved Iris, Seth I wish people would do something about violence with kids
