Sometimes you have to brave the darkness to reach the light.

TWENTY-FIVE-YEAR-OLD DANA EMERY is in full-blown adulting mode. After years of struggle, she has a stable job she loves, and she's ready to pick up her new car. Her life is finally getting on track.

But she should know better than to breathe easy. In no time, she’s fired, broke, and scrambling to pick up the pieces. Complicating her troubles is her growing attraction to Ethan, the “Shy Guy”. But the last thing she needs is to fall for another guy who ends up ghosting her when he discovers she has a special-needs, hemophiliac son.

PESSIMISTIC INTROVERT ETHAN TURNER would love for Dana to give him a chance. But the only ones who know the depth of his social anxiety are his fellow gamers, the old guy upstairs, and Ethan’s cat, Katie Scarlett. He’s afraid to wonder if Dana is the girl who might coax him out of hiding from the world.

Both figure it's safer to be alone, until a life or death situation forces them to make a choice; give in to fear, or step out in hope that God is real, and He is listening.

From the author of There Will Your Heart Be comes the faith-filled Fruit of the Spirit Series set in the small town of Grandview, where a group of teens comes together to pray. Ten years later, that prayer is answered, but in ways they never would have predicted.
