What if the end was only just the beginning?... Harold and Lucille Hargrave’s lives have been both joyful and sorrowful in the decades since their only son, Jacob, died tragically at his eighth birthday party in 1966. But in their old age they’ve settled comfortably into life without him... Until one day a government agent appears on their doorstep towing Jacob behind him still eight years old, exactly as he was on the day he died. All over the world peoples loved ones are returning from beyond. No one knows how or why or why this is happening, whether it’s a miracle or a sign of the end. Not even Harold and Lucille can agree on whether the boy at their doorstep is real or a wondrous imitation, but one thing they know for sure: he’s their son. As tensions begin to rise across the globe, the newly reunited Hargrave family must navigate the conflict between those who believe the Returned are a gift and those who are afraid of the unknown a conflict that threatens to rock the very foundation of our humanity.

The book follows a small town called Arcadia, specifically an older couple(Harold and Lucille Hargrave), as they try to deal with the dead coming back to life...
What would you do if you had a second chance? What would you do if the person you loved returned from the dead? Harold and Lucille Hargrave find themselves facing these very questions when their son returns. Their son, Jacob, died when he was 8. That was 50 years ago. It's hard, but they accept Ja...
In The Returned, the dead have come back to life. This isn't a zombie story, nor is it even a horror novel (the dead return as if they had never left, to the point of returning in the same condition and emotional state they were in when they died).
