After a life spent seeking and doing God's will, the course of one turbulent spring strips Elaine Mallory of everything but her life. Maybe she's not quite inclined to curse God and die, but she's got no problem turning from Him and running hard in the opposite direction. 

Justin Barnet wants nothing more than to comfort Elaine and shelter her from more suffering. Her loss and departure leaves him devastated, and for years he waits for her return-years during which his own life falls apart. Now Elaine is back, and he has less to offer than ever. 

As Elaine faces her grief for the first time since that tragic spring, will it reopen her heart to God's perfect shelter-and to Justin? Or will it drive her away again?All Rights Reserved
