This fast-paced, contemporary novel explores the grace that comes from daring to intervene in a stranger’s suffering.
by Barbara K. Richardson
Driving home from work on a summer afternoon, Melba Burns witnesses a nightmare collision. The wreck puts an ends to her relentless pursuit of success. She retreats into her beloved old farmhouse, yearning for a simpler peace.
But peace has never met Burns’ stunning new roommate who is a magnet for messes and trouble, bringing home unexpected guests who transform her life into something different, darker and richer.
This fast-paced, contemporary novel explores the grace that comes from daring to intervene in a stranger’s suffering.
It will appeal to those who have forgotten the power that comes from living simply, and to anyone in their middle years whose life has been hijacked by love.
