Synopsis

While her humanitarian husband Liam has been digging wells in Africa, Mara Jacobs has been struggling. She knows she’s supposed to feel a warm glow that
her husband is eight time zones away, caring for widows and orphans. But she is exhausted, working a demanding yet unrewarding job, trying to manage their
three detention-prone and needy kids, failing at her to-repair list, and fading like a garment left too long in the sun.

Then Liam’s three-year absence turns into something more, changing everything and plunging her into a sunless grief. As Mara struggles to find her
footing, she discovers that even when hope is tenuous, faith is fragile, and the future is unknown, we can be sure we are not forgotten … or unloved.

Goodreads review by Mary Jackson on March 04, 2021

I never had a book make me cry as mush as this one did. Ruchti never disappoints but you never know what you are going to read. She never writes the same story twice. The pressure to not sit and cry was so hard. The forgiving and healing was so prevalent on these pages. I gave this book 4 stars and I......more

Are you ready to cry your eyes out? In a good way? Once again, Ruchti manages to plumb the depths of sorrow only to resurface with a glorious splash of hope! Although I still can't believe she made Mara give up sugar. I mean, really, didn't the woman have ENOUGH to deal with?!?......more

Goodreads review by MJSH on March 10, 2021

"It was time for the sacred to win out over scared. How curious that those two words were so different but shared the same vowels and consonants with only two of them reversed. Scared could, theoretically, be converted into sacred with very little effort." This is not the book to read when you're in......more
