Family ties are strong, but even the strongest can be broken. Building on the story of faith and family, the Grandma, Mom, and Me Saga continues with Elaina, a story of devastating loss, constant lies, overwhelming betrayal, restorative love, and undiminished compassion. Elaina Drew is the first daughter born to Dutch and Louise. Before she is a teen, death steals two of her loved ones and her life is changed forever. Very young, she marries a man who promises her the world. They leave the country life she has known for the big city far from home. There she silently endures pain and treachery she never imagined. This tragic event separates her from her family by more than distance. They say broken hearts heal over time, but what happens when you have your whole lifetime in front of you? Is it possible to begin again when all you have is nothing?
