Shira Wesley didn't choose Redemption Ridge. She was sent.
Exiled from her church and family, Shira arrives in the quiet mountain town under the care of her aunt Lettie-the midwife, and the only relative still speaking to her. With her older brother Jude keeping watch and reporting every step of her "restoration," Shira tries to keep her head down, follow the rules, and stay invisible.
But Redemption Ridge has a way of working itself into the cracks. Despite the ever-watchful eye of home, Shira begins to assist her aunt in the quiet work of birth and healing-never expecting how it might begin to heal her too.
As her guarded world slowly widens, two men begin to see her for more than her past: Kavi Abraham, a gentle and devout immigrant with wounds of his own, and Lucas, a steadfast townsman with a kind smile and steady faith. Each offers a glimpse of something she thought she'd forfeited-affection, dignity, and perhaps even a future.
Torn between what she owes and what she longs for, Shira must decide if she will live under the weight of others' expectations-or finally begin to live the story Yahweh has written for her.
Rich with longing, grace, and quiet hope, Redemption Ridge is a tender portrait of identity, second chances, and the unseen hand of a sovereign God at work in unlikely places.
