EXCERPT

Poignant and memorable, bestselling author Patricia Haley's latest novel is an unforgettable story about a once-loving husband who has lost his way…and his spiritual wife who has grown weary from constantly praying for the marriage and not seeing a change. Greg and Laurie Wright are perched at the edge of an all-out crisis---and only a miracle can restore what has been lost.

When Laurie married Greg, she was certain they would live happily ever after. Greg was charming, loving, and everything Laurie thought she'd ever need. Now twelve years have passed---and they have six sons to show for it. Supporting such a large family is tough on Greg's graphic designer salary, but the Wrights make do---until the stress of living so close to the brink takes its toll. Laurie doesn't know how much longer she can cope with Greg's violent tirades---or if she even wants to try.

Overworked, underpaid, and coping with his father's rejection, Greg is itching to reach beyond his dead-end job and give Laurie and the boys everything they deserve. When Laurie gets a job to help make ends meet and in the process begins to shed weight, she becomes obsessed with her newfound taste of independence. No longer feeling a need to talk with God or Greg, she spends much of her time roaming the internet seeking what she feels is missing in her life. All Greg wants is for Laurie to love him the way she once did and have another baby, which won't happen if she can help it. But when things go from bad to worse, Laurie and Greg's marriage will be tested as never before. The crossroads they face will be one with many life and death choices. If there is any chance of them finding their way back to one another, they will first have to find their way back to God.
