Summer, 1969: Even though twenty-six-year-old Gideon Stallings is a successful architect, he struggles with inadequacy. With all he has lived through, can God really be who he says he is? When Gideon cracks open a Bible he finds in his room, a story of a different kind strikes his heart.

In a world where past decisions echo through generations, the stakes couldn't be higher. Will Cassie find her true value? Where will Ava's pursuit of freedom lead her? And will Gideon answer the divine call that could save a life-or lives?

One book holds the key to their destinies. But will they have the courage to turn its pages and face the truths within?
