Two women. Angelika is world weary. Dulcie has seen little beyond her own four walls.

A mysterious legacy brings them together in the quiet seaside village of Hamlet and sends them on a journey of discovery about their past.

Angelika settles into her idyllic new home in the countryside but discovers dark secrets and hostility lurking in everyone’s lives.

When a violent storm tears apart the boundaries that have so long gripped the community, all is revealed.

Can the past be forgiven, healed, and restored? Can Angelika and Dulcie move into the fullness of love and family? Change must come, relationships be renewed, and God’s love found.

by Janice Cole Hopkins

Brooke Bennett had the best news ever. After years of trying, she and David were going to have a baby.

Now, what was he going to do?
