It is good to have a family, everyone needs one because it provides support in the most difficult times. Dakota a man working for the military also possesses a family but he does not want to meet them. He left the family when he was able to enter the army and since then he has not tried to go back to his home. He happens to be the second youngest of four children and like other siblings, he too never liked his parents.
His parents were actually suffering from certain kinds of mental illness because of which the life of these children was turned into hell. Now after performing many missions for the department, Dakota has been set free by the military and he can go back to his home.
Going home is the one thing that he does not want and this makes him land in Sullivan Crossing. It is not like The Homecoming because Dakota has not returned to his native land rather he comes to this new place where his brother and sister are already living. According to them, the place has a healing power and it provides plenty of space for newcomers.
As Dakota starts spending time in this small community he realizes that his siblings were right about the magical effect of this peaceful place. Robyn Carr does not try to exaggerate things too much, we saw how the author kept it simple in One Wish. The moment Therese Plummer takes the narration of a novel in his hands, the story is bound to turn into a masterpiece and this is exactly that kind of a story.
