description: She has emotional wounds. He has physical ones. Faith doesn't come easy for either. Holden Jenkins receives a diagnosis that alters the course of his life. His slow recovery is pockmarked with discouragement and puts his future in question. Will he ever again walk without pain? Or be well enough to return home? A heart-rending day in the ICU leaves nurse Maddie Smith hurting in more ways than she can identify. In need of a change – and drawn to a man she barely knows – she goes on sabbatical and takes up the fight to get Holden back on his feet. As he searches for his identity in the midst of this new life, Holden struggles with a deep hurt. Why would God allow this? Meanwhile Maddie, shaped by her own emotional scars, battles against an unseen God she's not sure she can believe in. Will these two be able to find peace – and a future together – or will the difficulties they face push them apart?
