How can one build a life when their heart is somewhere else?What do you do when everything you have ever known as "normal" is suddenly taken away from you without warning? You go to sleep one night, just like any other night over the last two decades, and wake up to find that it is all gone. It is one thing to be stripped down to nothing materialistically. How do you face a new life when even your views, your opinions, and your way of thinking are challenged and proven immoral? Not only are you suddenly alone, without the riches you've been accustomed to, without the fancy home and car, but you have to create a whole new persona, as well. How does one embark on a journey such as this? Harley McDaniels Grooms is about to find out. For as long as she can recall, Harley has lived a life of ridicule and mockery. She has never felt beautiful or worthy of attention. When she suddenly finds herself in an unexpected divorce, it pulls all her insecurities to the surface. Three weeks later, her best friend dies. She spirals down into the darkest depression ever. She is abandoned, she is broken, and she is devastated.Just before her friend passes away, she makes Harley promise to start writing again and make a book about her quest to know Christ. In doing so, she struggles with her self-worth, mistakes from her past, and coming to terms with the end of her twenty-one year long, tumultuous and destructive marriage. She discovers things about herself that both shame her and empower her. More than once, her faith is rocked by what her heart wants and what scripture tells her she should do. During her endeavor to rebuild her life from the rubble her ex-husband left her and their son in, she is reunited with an old flame who opens her eyes to an intimacy she had never experienced before. Unfortunately, Wallace Callaghan does not believe in God. Determined not to lose her faith again, she has to decide between the greatest love of her life or following God's will. Wallace Callaghan has lived a carefree life of partying, sex, and freedom from anything or anyone who tied him down. He has his son, his bike, and his motorcycle club; those are the only things worth getting attached to. Yet somewhere in the back of his mind, was always Harley McDaniels, grinning at him with her doe-like eyes and vibrant innocence. It has been over twenty years since he abruptly left town, turning his back on everyone...including Harley. No matter how far behind he left South Carolina, her presence refused to be erased. Despite his best efforts, his heart demands her affection. Their worlds would never mesh. Too many obstacles were in front of them, the whole "God thing" being the biggest. How could he believe in something he couldn't see? Better yet, how could he come to terms with the fact that he was going to lose the one woman he cannot deny because of it? Twenty years is plenty of time to forget about someone. Why could he not let her go? What would it take to have her at his side forever? Could he give her what she needs from him and dedicate his life to a God he didn't even know was real?
