This tender and thrilling story by Penny Frost McGinnis truly captivates the heart and soul.
Sadie flees to the island her grandparents called home, the only home she ever knew. Now returning as a shattered woman, she’s unsure if she can trust her childhood faith or the grown man who once held her heart. But she is determined to make her grandmother’s business thrive while proving herself once and for all to a father who only values business and productivity.
Joel remembers the teenage Sadie- his high school crush- but believes he’s no longer worthy of love with his past. Now that he’s a policeman, he is the self-assigned protector of everyone on the island.
A stalker’s activities throw them together as Sadie’s property is damaged and her emotions war while Joel determines to protect the woman he still loves and continues to fight against forgiving himself for his past mistakes.
Penny creates compelling characters navigating precarious life events all while weaving hope through the individuals’ discovery of God’s love and forgiveness.
