Homecoming

Hayley Newman, a college student graduating from journalism school, finds herself searching for answers--answers to questions that go back to a missing girl from high school have haunted her. She was the last one to see the girl before her disappearance. With the help of a college classmate and her lifelong friends from home, she discovers things she never dreamed could happen. From ghost stories, to a trip to a cemetery, to old police reports and old newspapers, to finally a hidden journal, Hayley figures out what happened. Then she had to find a way to get her back. In the process, she'll need to save herself. Because of a cat in a cage, she finds herself in the world her friend has been living the last five years. There she witnesses what true love really is and realizes that she has finally found it herself. After disappointments of being able to return home, she understands the desire of her friend to be with the one she loved. With one last try and a combined effort of her friends at home, Hayley succeeds in returning to her family and friends. Her triumph is bittersweet because she has to leave behind so much that she has grown fond of, but she brought more with her than she thought--a new outlook on life. She was now sure of what was important--family, friends, and most especially, love.
