For over a decade, Jamie Walker has kept her deepest, darkest secret, but when her family cooperates with a detective and begins to dig into the past, Jamie’s already tattered life begins to fall apart at the seams. With her marriage, her job, and her sanity in jeopardy, Jamie is desperate to escape everything that reminds her of that fateful night, if only the nightmares would stop haunting her.
Widowed pastor Byron Mitchell lost his wife and his son in the same weekend. His wife in a horrible accident, and his son in a heated argument. Desperate to win his son back, no matter the cost, Byron strikes out at every turn until he gets injured trying to stop a bank robbery. Forced to visit him in the hospital, his son makes it clear he doesn’t appreciate Byron’s intrusion into his life.
When Jamie interviews Byron for a magazine article about the shooting, the peace in the pastor’s eyes tells her that he might be able to help with her problems, and she’s determined to help him reconcile with his long-lost son. As the pastor teaches Jamie about God’s forgiveness, she must make the heartbreaking choice between reconciling with her family or keeping her secret forever. Either way, her life will never be the same.
