Book excerpt: Though they hail from backgrounds that are worlds apart, it only takes one fateful accident to rearrange their priorities and set them on roads that intersect, forcing them to acknowledge the relationships they can't do without. Elder Paige Morganson has worked hard to overcome the anger, hate and abuse of her past. With God's help she believes healing and wholeness is within her grasp when she is propelled into a world of secrets and lies that threaten to unravel the very thread of hope she's clung to in her struggle for peace. Mason Jenson is a self-made man who has been able to create his own fortune and build a home life with his wife and child void of God's help...so he thinks, but as the world he knows balances precariously on the edge of destruction, who will he turn to? Elder Brandon Tatum's, new in town, has prided himself on not making a move until he's heard God, but even as he accepts his new position in ministry, he is faced with decisions of the heart; a whole new territory for him. Victoria Branchett has ruthlessly survived the death of her only daughter by fierce determination, but is the strength she has relied on enough to see her through a failing marriage and an ailing grandchild? This novel merges colorful characters facing one untimely circumstance after another, and mixes in a serious spin on how one views God, both inside and outside of His will. Of course, this is just the beginning. More people emerge from behind the scenes; some to help and others, to hurt. With everything happening simultaneously, one would almost question if God is able to truly fix and heal everything, and the readers will see just how far each person's faith (or lack thereof) will carry them. As they sift through the debris of past dreams and hopes left by the wayside, they are offered a lifeline and given an opportunity to receive God's Beauty for their ashes.
