Publisher's summary

With more than a million copies of her books in print, best-selling author Karen Kingsbury delights multitudes of fans with her inspirational tales. Grief stricken over her father's death, Ellen Barrett returns to her hometown, temporarily leaving behind a troubled marriage. The heartache and confusion that swirl about her threaten to further weaken her already slipping faith. Yet even in this difficult time, God's path is before her - if only she has the willingness and strength to take it.

Misleading faith

Dear Reader,
This book is about a woman that is questioning her marriage. She spends time alone with another man from her past. This is misleading in that because she doesn't fall to the temptation it's not in the Godly person's best interest to play with fire. When God makes a way of escape we have to be willing for God's ways. Being a faithful wife is not only not sleeping with other men but also not giving your husband reason to question your faithfulness. I hope anyone reading this doesn't get the idea that if we place ourselves in compromising situations that God will help us if we pray. There are certain places it's better not to go. She wanted to be tempted. She wanted to fall. This book is a fairytale. Good narrator. Not up to Karen's typical inspirational form.
