Following young Jack Moran's father's death from a car accident when Jack is a young teenager, Jack begins to be visited by deceased people from the afterlife, many famous (such as Sigmund Freud, Galileo, John Wiles Booth, Winston Churchill, Thomas Aquinas), others not, although they are representative of some historical significance. They are not ghosts, as Jack can see, touch, smell and converse with them. But only Jack, no one else. They seem to be preparing Jack, guiding him, to something he may be asked to do. Will his courage fail him when the time comes, or will his response trigger help from the supernatural?

Part coming of age story, part love story for his beautiful and future wife Sarah who comes to learn of Jack's "gift", the book is filled with historical references and facts, many related to his visitors from beyond the grave. Much of the story takes place in and around Washington, D.C., with Jack and Sarah both graduating from Georgetown University, and Jack's employment with the Smithsonian after graduation. The location offers an abundance of opportunities to meet a range of historic figures.

After surviving his first test of courage, and his marriage to Sarah and the birth of their daughter, tragedy strikes. Jack questions God's love, and why he would allow human suffering. But his faith is restored over time as he continues to explore God's mystery through others. And he is finally faced with another choice that may require him to commit to one more unselfish act. Part supernatural fantasy, part romance, part thriller, with elements of humor, wit, perception, and historical references, it ultimately is a story of life and death, the human condition, faith, love, and thoughts on the afterlife.

5-Star Review from Reader's Favorites (by Eric Ferrar):

After his father's unexpected death, teenage Jack Moran is visited by spectral figures who have gone on to the hereafter. They appear to be getting him ready for what lies ahead. Jack's journey unfolds as a college student and later a Smithsonian employee, opening the door to new supernatural encounters. His relationship with Sarah, his long-time girlfriend, grows into a marriage and family life. But when grief raises its ugly head again, Jack's faith in God is shaken. Lost in despair, he wrestles with the idea of a caring God in a world overflowing with sorrow. Yet through introspection, supernatural guidance, and a revived sense of wonder, Jack gradually embraces a path back to faith. Return to Stardust by John Kenyon takes readers on a journey with Jack as he yearns for rekindled faith in God and meaning in his life.

Return to Stardust by John Kenyon is a powerful Christian fantasy that integrates the present world with supernatural elements, mystery, romance, and emotional vulnerability, creating a narrative that is both unique and very human. Through Jack Moran's memorable experiences with these supernatural beings, the story examines themes of loss and spiritual reawakening without letting emotion overshadow depth. Kenyon's beautiful writing is sincere and thoughtful, flawlessly blending historical figures into a modern setting. Not only do these otherworldly elements breathe life into the story, but Jack's inner emotional and spiritual journey makes this a definite must-read. Rather than presenting quick solutions, Kenyon challenges us to meditate on the intricacies of life, resilience, and faith. If you are a fan of Christian fantasy, this book will instantly charm you.
