A victim of the Great Chicago Fire, Sophia Martone lost all but her mother and her faith. Her deepest regret is that she was forced to leave behind a family heirloom trunk full of memories and sentimental treasures. Can she begin a new life when all around her is ashes? Attorney Clayton Hill has led a charmed life. His wealthy family enjoys every comfort, and the fire blessedly left this family and practice untouched. When he salvages a trunk from the streets of Chicago, the journal inside holds words that begin to touch him in a special way. For all he owns, he does not know the peace and faith reflected on those pages. Can God bring these two very different people together? Can Sophia and Clayton accept the surprise God holds in His hand—and in that special trunk?
