Growing up as a child in an abusive home, a father whose
estimation crumbles before the very people that trusted and respected him as a
preacher, and wanting to get out of that life at all costs, Ava now has all she
ever dreamed of and more.
Her father is in jail paying for his crimes, she is happily
married to a man that provides for her every need, a daughter that is marrying
a good man, and a son that is doing well in high school. Then her whole world
seems to fall apart right before her eyes. Her husband’s business hits a rough
patch and now all of their financial security is gone. Her kids are having
problems in their lives as well.
Just when Ava thinks she doesn’t know where to go from here,
something small and beautiful and completely unexpected is left on her
doorstep. In order to do the right
thing, she will have to go home to the place she could not wait to leave and
forgive the ones that have wronged her in order to move on with her life. Through it all, God’s presence and peace
never leaves Ava and she is able to find strength in the strangest place.
This is a great book with a beautiful story; a story of
forgiveness, trust, safety, and honor.
The writers did an excellent job of writing this book in such a way that
keeps you interested in the story line of the characters, laughing when they
laugh and crying when they cry. Having
been through some rough patches myself in the past, I found this book to be
very encouraging with the constant message being that God will never leave or
forsake us!
