About

One home, two hearts, and the power of a promise kept . . .

For the last five months, Tom Anderson has been without a job, a fact he's been hiding from his wife Jean--and everyone else. He leaves each morning, pretending nothing has changed, and spends his disheartening day rotating through coffee shops and the library, using their wifi to search job listings online. The stress of keeping this secret is beginning to put serious strain on his marriage.

But Tom's not the only one hiding something. Jean Anderson has a secret of her own--one that will seriously complicate their situation. Will the promises they made on their wedding day hold firm?

Reviews

"With sympathetic characters and an uplifting ending, this second series entry by Walsh and Smalley is sure to please their fans, as well as those of Dee Henderson."

Library Journal

"Authentic characters and challenges, beautiful and uplifting prose, and solid marital advice flourish. The parallel connection of the relationships is a poignant reminder of the dangers of generational 'curses,' especially when communication and encouragement are lacking. The story is so captivating that you'll find it very difficult to put down."
