Cam is a hero who is hard to not admire. Despite the fact that he doesn't want Rachel's theater group to rent space from the co-op, once the decision is made, he can't stop himself from helping and protecting her. I loved his care and concern for her and for his teen-aged niece.
Rachel is both full of faith and insecure. She had been badly hurt by the accusations that drove her from Seattle. Now, in her new place, she is very hopeful she will be able to put her past behind her. Yet when it appears that her stalker may have followed her, she is afraid to tell Cam lest he reject her.
This is a lovely Prodigal Son themed story. Though that parable is clearly used to help turn the prodigal back to the Father, it is neither trite nor predictable. I cared for the characters and the heartaches they faced. The answer to the mystery and the outcome of the story were a complete surprise.
If you are looking for a shorter book full of hope and faith that will remind you of God's love through trials, this may be just the book for you.
