Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2Co 5:17) “I know you mean well, and I appreciate your taking me in. I … I don’t know what I would have done.” He curled and uncurled his fingers. “I have no problem with your other rules, but I can’t do this one. No one’s ever ‘accepted me always.’ At some point, I’ll mess up. Maybe badly. Maybe it’ll be over India.” The air sucked from the room. \——- Elliot Jersey’s life had always been bad, but the night his dad threw him out was the worst. Sick with the flu, having nowhere to go, he makes a fateful decision. To walk six miles in a torrential downpour and stay with the Russells. They’ve always been kind to him. And he’s right. Their hearts open, they take him in for however long he needs. Yet self-doubt and years of abuse cloud his thinking. No one ever loves him for no reason. He’ll simply never fit in. Especially, not after he and their beautiful daughter, India, find physical attraction spiraling them toward the edge. A story of God’s grace and forgiveness by best-selling author SUZANNE D. WILLIAMS.
