As the past and present collide, the love of God pierces through, and true healing begins.The focus is always on the promises of God to never forsake His children. With faith, love, and courage, Colin and Sarah overcome every obstacle and provide a safe, happy, God-centered home for the little ones. This fast-paced thriller is about love and hate, good and evil, God’s justice and God’s mercy.

This book won an award. One judge said that "the portrayal of the damaged nature of Emmeline and Verena [the two little girls] is very authentic. The author managed to make me feel compassion and frustration and shock all at the same time. ... And the author does well in introducing new setbacks just when we think something is going to be resolved."
