About this ebook

When Jana returns from a missions trip, she discovers that her pastor husband has left with his secretary...along with their bank account. Humiliated, penniless, pregnant, and very much alone, Jana reluctantly turns to her mother, Eleanor, in desperation. Eleanor is haunted by her own guilt and pain, and the arrival of her daughter only serves as a daily reminder of the memories she has long kept hidden away. Will a delightfully eccentric aunt become a catalyst between these two women? Will they allow God's spirit--and God's people--to bring true healing...and a future filled with love?

Ratings and reviews

From the first page I just couldn't stop reading this one. So many generations of hurt represented, forgiveness given, faith reborn and infused. A completely inspiring read. I've found my next favorite author.

At first I wasn't sure, too much to relate to, I usually try to stick with uplifting reads, but I ended up really enjoying it. I am glad I continued on.

a very intense read with layers of hurt, pain and disappointment. Not light hearted as expected but a good read. I could not read all at once as the themes were quite deep, intense and shocking. Praise God that forgiveness and wholeness resulted.
