Comes Around, the first book from ex-White House writer and corporate strategist Michelle S. Morris, hits the shelves today providing readers with a strong, deeply emotional tale of coming home, claiming back self, and finding our way through the tangled threads that bind us.
In rural Michigan, Comes Around introduces Halley McCarthy, a once high-profile woman who's returned to her hometown after a publicized engagement and career are left in ruins by shattered emotions. What she finds there isn't solace, but confrontation willed, though, by herself, her family, and her past.
With the journalist's eye and the narrative heart of a storyteller, Morris brings authenticity to each page. The power of the story comes from its realistic nature no heroes, no villains, only individuals struggling to make it and form connections.
“I’ve always written stories, even as a child,” says Morris. “This novel has been years in the making shaped by everything I’ve experienced: love, loss, motherhood, global travel, and the constant balancing act of ambition and duty.”
Morris’s professional background is as impressive as it is varied. She began her career in Washington, D.C., worked in journalism, and then led executive communications in the corporate world all while raising triplets and caring for her late husband, who passed after a decade-long battle with a brain tumor.
Now, she turns the page to a new act one centered on storytelling, connection, and creative legacy.
