“I walked past the gate of the military base, leaving behind my resolve as fighter jets blasted overhead, taunting me as they took flight. The faint fluttering inside my belly reminded me of why I put one foot in front of the other on this dank April morning. I will escape the hold on my life. I will find a way out.”

Emily decided to run away. It did not matter that she was a grown woman and that she had her younger daughter in tow. Anything was better than her current life with Eric, the one who broke promises.

Ann knew that Emily had a story. She was willing to help whether or not she really knew what was happening. Emily may think that all she could do was make a drastic choice. But Ann knew better. Her biggest hope was that Emily would come to find out that her ultimate rescue was finding out the Savior, Jesus Christ, was able to help her find a new start.

This powerful book is about a couple that is desperately in need of restoration. Both Emily and Eric have made choices against each other. Their daughter, Destiny, could be the casualty. But because Emily chose the right person to trust, there is hope for them after all.

What I appreciated about the storyline is the fact that the author does not provide simple solutions. The problems were complex, and the answers took time. Christ is a necessary part of the answers, but this book is full of counsel, not preaching. Marriages can be hard. Answers are not easy, but couples can find a way to learn to trust each other even if they have stepped out on each other.

I did read an advanced copy of this book. I wanted to read and review it. All opinions are my own.
