Annalise Carpenter is a 21 year old college student who is pursuing a degree her parents chose for her. After the death of her sister and then her grandmother, her life spirals downward. Losing a majority of her friends due to her strict schedule and overbearing parents has caused isolation to be her reality. That is until she meets Rafael.

Rafael Williams is a kind man that goes to her grandmother's church.  There's more to him than meets the eye as he has a dark past of his own. As a friendship blooms between the two, trauma and pain comes to the surface.

Obstacles begin to arise, unwanted love triangles form, and Anna learns that her sister's death may have been more than an accident. An accident that she's been blaming herself for. With the help of friends, a kind homeless man, and Rafael, they uncover the truth together.

And they all encounter God like never before to be made clean and to be whole.

Mrs. Avery by RejectedConcepts

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K
