From the Back Cover:

Memory Patterson has been hiding from her family for much too long. Her instinct has always been to run, and never more so than when a chance meeting with Pastor Landris and his pregnant wife, Johnnie Mae, leads to a shocking revelation as Johnnie Mae discloses the truth about Memory's mother.

Told her daughter had died at birth, ninety-year-old Sarah Fleming has spent the past three-and-a-half years searching for Memory. Sarah has been warned repeatedly by Memory's daughter and granddaughter not to trust the ever-conning Memory no matter how much she may claim she has changed.

Just as Memory attempts to convince everyone that she truly is saved now, the faithful woman responsible for reuniting her with her past finds herself suffering with troubles of her own. When Johnnie Mae experiences complications with her pregnancy, Pastor Landris learns he may have to make an impossible choice--one that will amount to true spiritual warfare. Meanwhile, Johnnie Mae's friend, Charity, finally comes face to to face with the painful truth and damaging secret of her own past.

For all those involved, secrets have done nothing but tear them apart and destroy their families. And--for Memory and Charity especially--only hope and the power of faith can mend these shattered, fractured lives...
