Welcome Home!

Banners, fireworks, a key to the city... after long months halfway around the world, John Avery Whittaker is finally coming home to Odyssey, and the whole town turns out to cheer. But not every heart is celebrating. One friend is quietly packing for a one-way flight out of town, another is nursing a broken heart, and an offer from far away could pull Whit right back out the door. Can Connie, Eugene, Jack and the others hold on to the friend they've waited so long to welcome? As old secrets surface and hard choices loom, everyone learns that coming home takes more than a plane ticket - it takes forgiveness, trust and letting go. Whit is back at last... but is he home to stay?
