The Call to Heal Book 2: When The Heart Breaks Open
Amara Johnson was raised on the promises of faith. Her mother's unwavering devotion to God shaped Amara's childhood with prayer-filled mornings and scripture-lined walls. But when her mother died from a preventable illness-an illness her alcoholic father neglected-Amara's trust in both her earthly father and her Heavenly Father shattered. How could a loving God remain silent? How could He watch and not intervene? Determined never to be vulnerable again, Amara traded her faith for fierce independence. She buried herself in her medical career, chasing success, achievements, and control-anything to avoid the grief that hollowed her heart. But life takes an unexpected turn when her estranged father is rushed into her hospital after a near-fatal accident. Suddenly, the man she vowed never to see again is completely dependent on her care. He offers no grand apology, no plea for forgiveness-only the uncomfortable presence of a broken man she never thought she would face again. As Amara wrestles with her spiraling emotions, God begins to gently pursue her. Through the wisdom of spiritual mentors, the unfolding of difficult medical cases, and the quiet whisper of grace, she realizes: Her father may never repent. Her success cannot heal her soul. And the bitterness she's held onto is costing her more than she ever realized. When the Heart Breaks Open is a heartfelt story of faith, betrayal, and the costly beauty of forgiveness. Through Amara's journey, readers are reminded that forgiveness is not a gift we give because someone deserves it-it's a gift we choose to offer to free ourselves.Complete

Heaven Knows
His warm hand stays at my back and I can feel his body keep me close. I nod and listen to his heart again. Worry suddenly starts to ruin this beautiful moment and I whisper, "What will happen if there's something wrong? What if your faith isn't strong enough?" Tyler's eyes soften at this and his thumb tenderly rubs my cheek. "I'm not afraid of what's to come. I have you." "I'm not as strong as you are." "That's what you think. You are much stronger. I can see it in you, city girl." I smile at this but my heart isn't convinced. He doesn't know what I've been through. He doesn't know how weak I can be. How much of a coward I am. But I promise myself that this time I'm not that woman. I'm his. I can't just run away from my problems like I've done all my life. He needs me no matter what happens. So I'll stay against his chest; listening to his heart until it no longer makes its beautiful melody.Complete
