  An unrepentant heart is heavy. 
  Widowed, lonely and angry, Claire feels that God has turned a blind eye to her. When her daughter becomes pregnant she acts on her pride and vanity, forcing the teenage girl to get rid of the baby. This choice creates a wedge between mother and daughter - and further distances Claire from God.     
  Believing that she’s a hopeless cause and peace is unattainable, she willingly accepts her probable death when a car accident leaves her sinking in the murky Jim River waters.   
  Then the boy appears, taking her by the hand and leading her down a path of self-reflection and healing, in a world unlike anything she’s ever seen. Claire discovers the truth about the past, faces off with her pride and finds that God has been pursuing her through it all. Using even the most dire of situations to draw her closer to Him. 
  A hard-to-put-down, thought provoking novel about redemptive love and true forgiveness from a God who celebrates with us in times of joy and agonizes with us in times of difficulty. A God who seeks to restore to us what was lost or stolen and redeem us with His powerful grace. 
  What people are saying:  
  “Male or female, young or old, this story will move you.” 
  “If you’ve ever wrestled with forgiveness or grappled with faith, this book will gently guide you toward true peace.” 
  “An uplifting, amazing life message.”

  Homer’s The Iliad is an epic poem set during the Trojan War, focusing on a few pivotal weeks in the tenth and final year of the conflict. Centered on the rage of the Greek hero Achilles, the story unfolds after he withdraws from battle in a dispute with King Agamemnon, setting in motion a chain of tragedy, honor, and fate. As the Trojans, led by the noble Hector, gain ground, the Greeks suffer heavy losses. Achilles’ closest companion, Patroclus, enters the fray in his place and is killed by Hector, sparking Achilles’ devastating return to battle. The poem explores themes of glory, wrath, mortality, and the will of the gods, culminating in Achilles’ vengeance and the poignant burial of Hector. Though it does not recount the entire war, The Iliad captures its emotional and heroic core, offering a profound meditation on the cost of honor and the fragility of human life. A cornerstone of Western literature, it blends myth, drama, and timeless insight into the human condition.

  "Spare and lovely as a bird in flight, these poems trace a wide arc - of belonging, of braided identities, of the bonds between people. Here the natural world is sharply observed, in delicate and precise language. A poetic memoir of sorts, the work never forgets heart."  - Frankie McMillan 
  "This book invites you into stillness. The poems grasp you and hold you in another world. The land, the people, the mist, the rain, the birds - everything has importance, everything here is holy." - Jillian Sullivan
