In "Only One Way Home," readers enter the poignant final days of Emma Thompson, a terminally ill woman in her late 60s, as she lies in a hospital bed grappling with her past choices and regrets. Surrounded by the sterile sounds of medical machinery, Emma's reflections intertwine with memories of her life. The arrival of four visitors-her compassionate nurse, estranged son, a spiritual chaplain, and an old neighbor-challenges her to confront her deep-seated beliefs and the essence of faith. Each visitor offers a distinct perspective on the gospel, sharing messages of love, redemption, and the promise of eternal life.

As Linda, the nurturing nurse, shares the powerful message of John 3:16, Jake, her troubled son, emphasizes the importance of confession through Romans 10:9-10. Their interactions are charged with tension and tenderness as they seek reconciliation amid past grievances. Chaplain David leads Emma through discussions about the purpose of suffering, while Mrs. Reynolds rekindles their shared history with reminders of Jesus' death and resurrection from 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Emma finds herself pondering which gospel holds the truth, questioning if all of these verses together represent the true gospel.

Ultimately, "Only One Way Home" captures Emma's longing to understand salvation as she's presented with multiple gospels in her last days. As she confronts her choices, she reflects on exactly what the good news is, ultimately accepting the gospel's power to save. In a heartfelt finale, Emma bids farewell to her visitors, leaving behind a message of faith that echoes in the hearts of those she loves. This evocative narrative invites readers to explore their own beliefs and consider what the accurate presentation of the Gospel truly is.

Two girls, chasing their dreams, find themselves caught in a web of secrets tied to a forbidden past. But as their bond is tested by time, love, and betrayal, the unshakable friendship they once shared begins to crumble. "I love you! Because of you, I laughed a little harder, cried a little less, and smiled a little more." "I love you too! I just want you-your flaws, mistakes, smiles, and everything about you." But the love that once brought them together begins to fade. "You're not the same Bella. You're not the Bella I loved." "That's nonsense! I'm the same Bella you always loved! What's gotten into you?" "I know my Bella. I could recognize her by the freckle on her skin. But you're not her." Heartbreak sets in: "Don't you love me anymore?" she asks, as tears streak her face. But trust has been shattered. Tempers flare, and dark truths emerge: "Say it once again?" "I HATE YOU, LILY! I hate every single damn action you take! You think you're a leader? You're just a loser. All this mess is because of you! Why didn't you die that night instead of them?" As the tension escalates, a new conflict arises: "Harry just asked me out for the college prom," Lily says. "Then say no. It's simple," Bella snaps. "What's wrong with you, Bella? I like him, and I'm saying yes!" "There you go again, deciding things by yourself. Just like that night when you acted on your own and called a cursed child." With love on one side and loyalty on the other, Lily must navigate heartbreak, misunderstandings, and regret. Meanwhile, the mystery of their shared past looms larger, threatening to unravel everything. Can their friendship survive the trials of love, loss, and betrayal?
