Features & Highlights

  • Hannah Ryan is the mother of two adorable little girls and the wife of a doting husband. Her life is perfect -- until the night her husband and eldest daughter are ripped away from her by a drunken driver. Torn by grief and rage, Hannah finds her faith -- like that of Jeremiah weeping over Jerusalem -- tested to the limits. As she walks the long road of her own modern-day Lamentations, she must learn to forgive... and finally discover that God's mercies truly are new every morning. Sometimes the road home is only found by letting go.
  • Sgt. Miller cleared his throat. “I’m afraid there’s been a car accident...”
  • As Hannah Ryan waits for her family to return home from a camping trip, she realizes she has everything going for her — a husband other women admire, two charming teenage daughters, and a loving Christian home. As the sunny afternoon turns into twilight, her uneasiness grows along with the shadows. Then a car pulls into Hannah’s driveway, bringing two police officers...and devastating news that shatters her life forever. In the days that follow, Hannah struggles with unspeakable feelings of sorrow and rage—feelings that fuse into one chilling purpose for living: revenge against Brian Wesley, the drunk driver who has caused all her pain. In her fury, Hannah shuts the Lord out of her life. She’s determined not to forgive Wesley or the God who allowed this tragedy to happen. Can two caring people help Hannah rediscover her faith...before bitterness destroys her?

Powerful and beautifully written

Like Kingsbury's Where Yesterday Lives, this is a powerful story of family relationships and the tests they face when tragedy strikes. Kingsbury's masterful weaving of scripture texts from Lamentations give the novel a deep poignancy. The details are so rich and real that if I didn't know better, I would think the author wrote the story from personal experience. Karen Kingsbury can't write fast enough to suit me!
