**Named a Notable Book for 2015 by Shelf Unbound Magazine**

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen..."

Ruby Graves, a young girl in Depression-era Alabama, faces the hardships of poverty and loss with as much faith as she can muster. At only the age of thirteen, sheâ€™s already lost a younger brother to illness, and now faces losing both her father and the boy whoâ€™s stealing her heart to illnesses as well. Armed with her beloved Scriptures, she prays daily for their healing, only to have her tender faith shattered by her fatherâ€™s death.

Through her pain, sheâ€™s able to connect with her long-lost Uncle Asa, whose mere presence at his brotherâ€™s funeral brings murmurs of a scandalous past involving her parents and a prominent local pastor, Irwin Cass. When Ruby discovers that one of Asaâ€™s many secrets is an ability to heal, and that she may be next in line for the â€œgift,â€ she vows to find the faith that has eluded her so far, a faith that could mean never losing loved ones again.

But faith and doubt canâ€™t reside in the same heart, not according to her father, and doubt is Rubyâ€™s constant companion. As she struggles to find the true meaning of faith, sheâ€™s opposed at every turn by the pastor who would see her family destroyed and a community that canâ€™t see deeper than the color of oneâ€™s skin. Through her search for a faith that could move mountains and a true understanding of her gift, can Ruby trust in a God that may require the ultimate sacrifice?
