But her guilt is always with her, and weighs heavily on her heart. Kiama has had to grow up without a mother, and while there is so much he remembers about her, there is still plenty he doesn't know. And there's only one person who can fill in the gaps. Lewis wants nothing more than to keep Kiama, his son, safe, but the thought of Kiama dredging up the past worries Lewis deeply. And Lewis doesn't know if he's ready to let the only woman he's ever loved back into his life. When Kiama seeks Yvonne out and asks her to come with him to Kenya, the place that holds the answers. The answers to his questions, she knows she can't refuse. And this one act sets in motion an unraveling of the past that no one is ready for. Moving between London and Kenya, and spanning almost two decades, Homecoming is a profound story of love, family, and friendship. It's about coming to terms with your past, and about what happens when we finally share our truths. * * *.
