When her sister Abigail’s beau returns from the sea after being thought dead for five years, Deborah Bowman is torn. She greatly admires Edward Hunter and believes him to be the best of men, but Abigail’s heart now belongs to another. Deborah longs to honor her sister’s choice, but why can’t Abby see Edward’s superior character and the miracle of his return?
Edward Hunter has come back to life in the eyes of his friends and family. Marooned on a deserted island, only the Lord and thoughts of his beloved Abigail kept him going. But now that he’s home, he finds he and Abigail aren’t who they used to be … and neither is Abigail’s little sister, Debbie. Could the Lord have used tragedy and separation to open Edward’s eyes to what –and who– he really needs?
