Babylon Revisited

One of my most favorite stories that I have is Babylon Revisited. The whole story is about a recovering alcohol trying to get his life back together after losing everything. He lost his daughter to his in-laws, his wife died because she had pneumonia, and he lost his job because the economy wasn’t doing well. I like this story because here is a man who comes back after seven years and tries to get his daughter back. Over the past several years he has been getting his life back together. The last piece of the puzzle that he is missing is his daughter. When he finally returns he has to deal with a few things. He first has to deal with his in-laws who are keeping his daughter. The in-law are skeptical about him which they have a right to be feeling that way because he has been missing for several years and then he just shows up. One of the reasons that the in-laws are skeptical is because of his alcoholism and even though he says that he is only down to one drink a day, they still aren’t sure. He is even willing to wait six month to get his daughter to show his in-laws that he really has changed. In the end he didn’t get his daughter but he is unwilling to give up.One of my most favorite stories that I have is Babylon Revisited.
