She's young, she's motivated and she's back to make her mark on Market Street.

The story of a sweet return and the family that's so glad she's back.

It's this week's come home.

"My family bought this business. It'll be three years in May and they asked me to come and run it," says Laura Williams.

Laura is talking about Big Mac Printing, a staple on Market Street since the 70s. That's around the same time Laura was born in the small town of Vincent.

"I like the small town and the schools, everybody knows everybody."

Laura moved to New York for two years in high school, but came home to graduate. She moved away again this time to Alabama for eight years.

And now she is back, something that really makes her family happy.

"All of my family lives here except for a cousin who lives in Holland and an uncle who lives in Florida," Laura says.

Since sailing in from the South, she has really gotten plugged into the community.

"I'm in a lot of committees. I belong to the convention/ visitor's bureau, the chamber in both Marietta and Parkersburg and I just got into YEL, young executive leaders.

Very involved, and she plans to keep it that way.

She says, "People are willing to help out here. It's a good place to live and raise a family."
