Opis

Katie's rural Alabama farm, which she shared with her activist husband, was her oasis, her retreat. Here, she had control. Here, she could witness God's handiwork in the beauty of the land. Here was where she was raising her children to love God and love others. Here, she was at peace.
On one night in 1960, Katie went to sleep along with her husband in their modest home. They had no idea it would be their last full night together, and the last night they would ever step foot in their beloved home again.
A horrible and unspeakable act of hate and prejudice shatters their peace and causes Katie and her family to move to California, where she attempts to rebuild her life.
Although she had put hundreds of miles between herself and her Alabama farm, there were some things that followed her to California; things she could not outrun; things she would have to grapple with if her life, and the lives of her children, were ever to return to normal. Then suddenly, the family is forced to deal with a shocking reminder of their turbulent past. They have to address feelings, suspicions, attitudes and fears that threaten God's redemptive purpose, and could destroy lives in the process.
Author Lynn Cornell crafts this compelling Christian fiction story of a woman and her family who have to come to grips with their faith and the many challenges they face that force them to assess its relevance in their lives. Covering 1960 to the present day, this timely and relevant Christian novel will make you cry. It will make you laugh. It will instill you with joy. But most of all, if you are open to it, it will make you think.
