Sixty thousand people watched as famous singer Candace Rodriguez fell off the stage while performing the national anthem, wrecking her self-esteem—and her music career—while leaving her manager hot with fury. Now weighing 350 pounds and jilted by her fiancé after the shame of her public fall, can she find another chance at true love? And will her new Christian faith anchor her future hopes? Former highbrow stock trader, "JB" Patrickson has had enough of life making mockery of his future plans as he lived behind the shadow of his father’s pronouncement that he'd never make it more than selling "chick’n” stock in Kentucky. Proving his father wrong, JB succeeded at the NY Stock Exchange, becoming one of the best US traders...until the market crashed in 2008. Seven years later and mired in debt, he can't shake the urge that God is leading him down a different path. The path of accepting his grandmother's request to come and help her manage her farm, hundreds of miles away—despite his little-to-nothing knowledge about farming. But first, JB had to confront the fear that he’d fallen so low that toiling with his hands was the only way to put food on the table. What future could God plan for him on a farm? Twenty years after returning to the US from a fulfilling medical mission in Asia, Dr. and Dr. Mrs. Cantwell gratefully send off two sons to college, purchase a flourishing twenty-acre farm, and prepare to settle into their empty nest stage. But what will they do if God leads one more life into their path, one needing stitches of the soul not of the body? Can they answer His call to service, or will overlooked pain from the past threaten the fragile peace they'd so desperately coaxed into existence in their marriage?
