I really like this premise Ariel. 🙂
If he actually committed the crime they might be hesitant to accept him back into their lives. But if he were innocent or they didn’t consider his “crime” a real crime I think they’d be overjoyed to have him back.
I think when it all plays out in the story matters too. If he comes home halfway through the story, you might want to add some negativity to his return, maybe his presence makes his family a target to the Romans in the area because they do consider him a criminal or something along those lines, that way there’s conflict to carry readers to the end. But if it’s the end of a long and terrible journey back home, having his family alive and rushing to hug him might be just the right note to leave your readers on.
Hope this helps!
