Sparrow, The Returned

From the New York Times bestselling author of Hell of a Book, comes a short story from the world of The Returned where one determined couple seeks to reunite a young girl with the father who thought he had lost her forever…

When Heather and Matt Campbell find ten-year-old Tatiana Rusesa on the side of the highway, she is thousands of miles away from her village in Sierra Leone. She hasn’t seen her family in almost two decades, not since she and her mother were killed by rebel soldiers. Now Tatiana has inexplicably returned, a lost orphan with no place to call home.

As the world dives deeper into uncertainty and chaos, Heather is determined to save Tatiana and help her find her way back to her family. But how much is she willing to lose to protect a girl she doesn’t even know?

Learn how the mysterious reappearances begin in The First.
