When Jeff Comes Home

(3) YA Nearly three years after being abducted, sixteen-year-old Jeff is released by his kidnapper. The plaintive first-person narrative details Jeff's readjustment to family and friends, his guilt over the sexual abuse he suffered, and the continued presence of Ray, the abductor who continues to make ominous appearances even after Jeff is home. Not every aspect of this debut novel is fully convincing, but much is brutally honest and compelling.
