A broken path, a hidden refuge, and the courage to stop running.
Three years ago, Caleb McClelland had a future, a father, and a home. But after a tragic accident took his dad, Caleb was thrown into a harsh foster system and left with no papers, no ID, and no safe place to sleep. Survival on the streets came at a steep cost-one that left him running from dangerous debts, struggling with addiction, and stranded with nowhere left to turn.
When a stranger named Daniel Livingstone offers him a hot meal and a quiet room at an Ozark Bed and Breakfast, Caleb expects a trap. Instead, he finds an eccentric, welcoming refuge filled with quiet strength, long-held secrets, and two boisterous twin boys who quickly pull him into their world.
As Caleb's natural talent for mechanics begins to shine, Daniel sees a future for the young man that Caleb can't yet see for himself. But untangling his past takes more than a set of wrenches. To build a real life in Chester Switch, Caleb must confront the demons he left behind and decide if he's ready to trust again.
Set against the hardwood forests, hidden waterfalls, and quiet creeks of the Boston Mountains, Journey Home to Chester Switch is a heart-rending, hopeful story about surviving trauma, finding strength in unexpected places, and discovering what it truly means to belong.
