When Amanda Grace Stiles senses a whisper from God to visit a hospital room where she works, she finds a woman lying in a coma. As she prays for the stranger, Amanda can’t conceive of the journey she’s embarking on with the woman’s past criminal life—or the friendship God has planned for them. Nor does she expect to fall for the handsome, hospital orderly that intersects their paths. Tyrina Louise Duval nearly loses her life trying to save another, but even in her rescue, she can’t seem to escape her horrific past. As Amanda and Tyrina each experience joy, sorrow, and threats, they find that God’s plans are good even when they don’t understand. Recommended for ages 16+
Laura Bennet blogs and writes books about hope, healing, and redemption. Her first book, The Miracle of Us: Confessions of an Online Dater, shares the story of how she and her Aussie husband met online through a Christian dating site back before it was popular. Laura enjoyed forty years as an educator in various settings. She also owned a pizza restaurant, coached gymnastics and hockey, wrote reports for a private investigator, sold tuxedos, and home-schooled six of her seven children. A life highlight was speaking at a woman’s conference in Athens, Greece. She adores her husband, seven adult children and eleven grandchildren. Although she’s lived most of her life on California’s west coast, she currently makes her home in balmy, Southwest Florida with her husband. When she’s not walking on the beach, photographing nature, or sipping her weekly peppermint mocha, she loves to connect with her readers. She also offers help and encouragement with writing through her “Real Time Writers” Facebook group, and has published literature guides for home and classroom educators.
Totally captivating story. I just love the way I am transported into the story. I can just picture it all and care so much for the characters. So much fun to see where this wind is blowing!
