Titus Returns: Review by Susan Scott Ferrell

Titus Returns – The Prodigal With a Twist!

Titus ReturnsAmy Lillard takes her readers back to Wells Landing once gain with her latest release, Titus Returns. From the moment I read a sneak peek of this novel from More Than a Promise, I knew it was going to be outstanding. I was NOT disappointed!

Titus Lambert returns to Wells Landing after spending five years in prison for vehicular manslaughter. He’s kept to himself – and kept everyone (his friends, his family…his girlfriend) at bay – while on the inside. When Titus returns to Wells Landing, it’s a difficult reentry. Titus doesn’t know what to do with himself – should he even stay Amish? His family loves him…but how can they reach him? His now-married girlfriend has unresolved feelings for Titus…will she jump the fence with Titus? Then there are the families affected by his actions all those many years ago. Will he ever be fully forgiven?

I was given Titus Returns in exchange for my honest review. Although characters from other novels in the series are mentioned, Titus Returns can easily be read as a stand-alone. I found it to be a refreshing twist on the prodigal returns story. The characters were well thought-out and believable. I fell completely into step with Titus and felt every disappointment, every fear, and every victory along his journey. Well done, Amy Lillard. Titus Returns is a must-read!
