Our choices affect our lives and our families every day. When 18-year-old Leesa Holbrook feels her mom is too overbearing and decides to run away from home, she sets in motion a chain of events that will change her family forever.

Beth has tried her best to be a good and Godly mother, leaving the past in the past. But when her daughter Leesa becomes a prodigal, every hidden thing about her life threatens to come to light.

This women's fiction is about faith and family and the choices we make that either bring us together or tear us apart. Just when you think things can't get worse for the Holbrooks, another layer of hurt and betrayal is uncovered. This book tackles some difficult topics, but always with grace and the acknowledgment that each of us are capable of making mistakes and hurting others. We listen to what we want to believe instead of what is true. But when we're willing to be open and vulnerable with those we love, and put God in the center of our lives and relationships, we can survive the storms of life.

I hope you'll check into this debut novel by Deena Adams. You can feel Deena's heartbeat for women and families throughout this story. If you enjoy women's fiction, be watching for this one to release later this month.

I received my copy of the book from the author. All thoughts in this review are my own.
