Now her straitlaced family was doing everything in its power to see that Maggie left town for good. And it looked as if she and her unborn baby would just have to make it on their own.Local minister Jake Mathison knew a lost soul when he saw one. Giving her a job as church secretary and a place to live were the first steps he took toward bringing Maggie back into the fold. And with each day, Jake knew he was falling more in love with this amazing young woman. But could Maggie's heart and soul ever heal enough to let him become part of her family?

CHERYL WOLVERTON
Growing up in a small military town in Oklahoma where she used to make up stories with her next-door neighbor, Cheryl says she’s always written, but never dreamed of having anything published. But after years of writing her own Sunday school material in the different churches where she’s taught young children, and wanting to see more happy endings, she decided to give it a try, and found herself unable to stop.
Seeing so many people hurting, afraid to reach out and accept God’s forgiveness, inspired her to begin writing stories about God’s love and forgiveness in romances, because, she says, “We can’t truly have happily ever after if we don’t have that happily-ever-after relationship with God, too.”
Cheryl now lives in a small Louisiana town and has been happily married for fifteen years. She has two wonderful children who think it’s cool to have a “writing mama.” Cheryl loves to hear from her readers. You can write to her at P.O. Box 207, Slaughter, LA 70777.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him,
and honour him.
—Psalm 91:15
To Marcia Bender, who was the first to ever tell me
how much she loved my books. This one’s for you.
Thank you to Donna Blacklock and Denise Gray,
who have supported each and every book I’ve
written with book-signings and encouragement and
who were both enthusiastic when I told them about
this one. You’ll never know how much that means.
And to my sister, Deborah. I love you, hon. I hope
this one touches your heart, too.
Prologue (#ulink_b3fb1b85-78a2-562c-932f-0cd3b06a1fd2)
Maggie looked at the suitcase sitting by the front door. It didn’t contain much, just her most treasured possessions. Funny how everything she really cared about could fit into one suitcase.
Looking back at the house and the lavish staircase, she realized what a pampered life she’d led.
Fear clutched her heart, emerging from her numbness. So much had happened in the past seven weeks, things that had totally changed her outlook on life. No more was this house a haven for her; no more was it a place she could run to when she was hurt or afraid.
She saw a maid peek around the corner, heard the muffled sniffles of another when she picked up her suitcase. Maggie hadn’t realized how much the staff cared for her. Of course they wouldn’t say anything about her leaving. Their jobs wouldn’t permit it.
Had her whole life been so marked by privilege? She’d been so innocent, working at a job that had been provided for her, going to the church where she’d been raised, doing everything she’d always been told.
