Return: Remembering a Family Life Julia Doggart

Return is a memoir about movement - the physical movement of returning home after twenty-six years abroad, and the internal movement of releasing the emotional legacy of the past. As Julia Doggart unearths details about her father, she examines her own life in the context of his absence and lovingly traces adolescent rebellion, the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship, spiritual hunger, and the driving need of a survivor to understand loss.
