Book description

Alcoholism, sexual addiction, child abuse and the suicide of a parent are the inherited demons plaguing and isolating Joe Taylor even after four years of sobriety and celibacy, trying to drive him back to the wild parties of his youth.

Poverty, abandonment and neglect are Wendy Masten’s inheritance. And one night, in a desperate attempt to reunite with her long-lost sister, Wendy and Joe meet unexpectedly and begin a quest toward freedom and long-lasting love.

Grow with them as faith unfolds and unleashes its healing power, transforming Joe and Wendy into the people God intended them to be with the inheritance He planned as they become a couple and prepare to enter the sacrament of marriage.

Rated R: For mature topics, language and some brief sexual depictions.

Why the "mature" rating?

Readers' Reactions

It was so clean and refreshing! I cried through it and I am not one to cry. I had to keep reading and now I want to know what happened to everyone in the book. - Sassy Cummings, Administrator, Catholic Mom Community, CMOMC.org

Your book...is SOOOOOO good! I couldn't put it down. The characters were so real and drew me into their story. I loved that the book illustrates that no matter what has happened in your past, God is there to forgive and to bring you to know Him...as well as having amazing plans for you. I don't want to give too much away for those who still plan to read it. I just wanted to let you know that I am so glad I read it - thank you for writing it! I cannot wait to read more from you (hint! hint!). - Maria H.

Honestly, I couldn't put it down. It was so good. So real. I loved that it had all the elements of a great novel - - the characters, the romance, the drama, but also included some very important elements of the Catholic faith, which are GRACE, FORGIVENESS and MERCY. - Terri H.

Absolutely outstanding. Excellent. Brilliant.

You bring up, explore, and develop what I think is at the heart of your story and the heart of all of us: am I loved?

You draw the reader deeper and deeper into that in a captivating way.

Few people have the depth in their lives and minds to even begin to comprehend this kind of love, that they do have it and are capable of it.

Your story illustrates that.

Sequels would be nice. - Kathy S.
