At the heart of the story is the De Silva family, a close-knit group grappling with the unimaginable loss of their beloved son and brother, Daniel. As they navigate the turbulent waters of grief, each member embarks on a unique journey of healing and self-discovery.

Daniel's parents, Michael and Elizabeth, struggle to reconcile their shattered dreams with the agonizing reality of their son's absence. Michael finds solace in the memories of his son's vibrant life, while Elizabeth seeks comfort in her faith and the unwavering support of her family.

Daniel's siblings, Sarah and Andrew, grapple with their own emotions. Sarah withdraws into herself, consumed by guilt and self-blame. Andrew, on the other hand, channels his grief into reckless behavior, seeking solace in the adrenaline rush of dangerous activities.

As the family grapples with their loss, they encounter a series of unexpected encounters that challenge their beliefs and force them to confront the complexities of their emotions. There's Father Ben, the compassionate priest who offers guidance and support, and Dr. Patel, the empathetic therapist who helps them navigate the labyrinth of grief.

But it is the arrival of a mysterious stranger, a young woman named Anya, that truly tests the limits of the De Silva family's resilience. Anya claims to have known Daniel and shares intimate details about his life, igniting both hope and suspicion in the family's hearts.

As the story unfolds, readers are taken on a journey through the raw and unpredictable terrain of grief. Nersasian's evocative prose captures the subtleties of human emotion with astonishing precision, allowing readers to experience the characters' pain, confusion, and resilience firsthand.

Never to Return is a story about the profound impact of love and loss, but it is also a testament to the enduring power of family. Through their shared sorrow, the De Silva family rediscovers the strength of their bond and the importance of supporting one another through life's most challenging moments.

With its rich character development, intricate plot, and evocative prose, Never to Return is a must-read for anyone who has ever experienced the pain of loss. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it, reminding you of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment with those we love.
