Her nine year marriage to Dr. Redding explodes and Laurel flees from Oregon with her seven-year-old daughter. Her parents welcome Laurel and their granddaughter to the remote family homestead on a scenic wild river near Storm Bay in Southeast Alaska. Laurel discovers the river is not the refuge she expected, and when she moves into Storm Bay, hidden secrets revealed threaten to rip her family apart.
Embers of the love she left behind flare when Bill reenters Laurel’s life. Ian, a multi-millionaire’s adopted son, pursues her. But does Ian, a developer, plan to take the homestead Laurel loved, her inheritance, and depart? Laurel finds an ally in a retired missionary, gifted in divine healing, and discovers the power of her Christian faith.
Will Laurel return to Bill? Or will she lose her heart to Ian, only to be crushed? Or is there a darker force at work, out to destroy Laurel, her family, and block others’ plans to make the river a sanctuary for troubled lives.
