Hank recognizes Leslie as an answer to his prayers, and together, they begin to mend their futures. Neither of them plans to fall in love. Will the worst summer of Leslie's life become the season that redeems them both?

Life knocked him down. Faith lifted him up. Jeremy Harrison served his time — ten years in prison paid his debt to society for bad business practices. Now released, his plan for rehabilitation is clear: put his faith in God, work hard and put his past mistakes behind him. The last thing he wants is to be featured in a magazine article about ex-cons who successfully re-acclimated into society. Worse still, the gorgeous reporter takes an instant dislike to him. Emma Jean Slotky knows that one of the interviewee names in her new magazine article assignment sounds familiar. Her dad helps her figure out why — Jeremy Harrison was responsible for the destruction of his employer and ultimately, Emma's family, all those years ago. How can Emma possibly face the man who ruined her family with professionalism, and not disappoint her boss? As Jeremy works to redeem himself in his new life, acts of sabotage plague his fledgling custom-made furniture business. He and Emma discover growing feelings for each other, but how can their relationship blossom with such a dubious foundation? As pressures mount, an innocent life is put in danger and the two must work together to find the person responsible in time to prevent disaster.

A traumatic family event. Distinctly opposite ways of dealing with it between husband and wife. Instead of joyfully celebrating the safe return of their kidnapped daughter, Tom and Marianne are struggling to understand why they've landed on polar opposites of this parenting issue.  Accepting her husband's approach would require Marianne to disown a beloved family member. That can't be God's will. Accepting his wife's approach would require Tom to relive past mistakes made by his own father -- ones he swore he'd never repeat. Marriage. Free will. God's will. A journey to achieve fulfillment. Let no man put asunder.
