Where You Come From Is GoneWhere You Come From Is Gone

"Pete Brennan returns from Army service in post-war Germany yearning to rejoin his father's commercial fishing boat, but a single moment of distraction changes his life forever. After losing his leg in a devastating accident, Pete faces not only physical challenges but also the looming threat of government interference in the family's fishing business. Meanwhile, Pete's brother Wayne, a former hockey player turned mink farmer, spirals into alcoholism as his farm faces a perfect storm of crises: the dwindling supply of fish for feed and the rise of the animal rights movement. Their father, Arthur, struggles to manage the brewing tension between his sons as the family business teeters on the edge of collapse. When a tragic accident critically injures Pete's son Jay, tensions boil over, forcing the family to make impossible choices. Each must decide whether to cling to the past or embrace an uncertain future, leading to a cascade of decisions that create opportunity, alienation, and bittersweet moments of reconciliation. Where You Come From Is Gone is a gripping, multi-generational portrait of resilience, identity, and the cost of holding onto--or letting go of--what defines us"--Provided by publisher.
