description: Hatcher did a remarkable job with this book. I was grabbed by the first word and left with a wonderful feeling inside when I read the last word. This book helped to remind me that with Christ all things are possible.  Romance Readers Connection***Gabe Talmadge languished in prison for ten years convicted of a horrible crime.
