This is the 2nd book in my "The Coming King" series.
After ultimately being set free from a painful home life, Arlana is relishing her new freedom, not only for her but for her son. She has grappled with her faith and relationship with God after backsliding and is attempting to find her way back.
Her new neighbours are wonderful but it isn't long before Josiah proves to be a distraction and her downfall. A moment of vulnerability with enduring consequences leaves her with a perpetual reminder of her imperfections and feelings of unworthiness. The struggle intensifies as Arlana clutches at straws, unable to find her footing.
Lachlan represents the familiar and is her source of strength when her world comes crashing down after her grandfather's death. When what limited faith she has is shattered, what will she do? Lachlan loves her as she is, imperfections and all. Out of the two men, he is the only one who is aware of her secret, having been there for her in her time of greatest need. In contrast, Josiah seems cool and aloof, uncaring - from a completely different world, it would seem.
Arlana feels like she is drowning spiritually, powerless to gain her footing yet now she has a greater purpose and believes she must risk everything to save the innocent, the weight of the world on her shoulders.
Misunderstanding her motives, Josiah is determined not to give up on the woman he loves no matter how things appear.
Arlana must decide between Josiah and Lachlan knowing that her choice will have life-altering consequences, and if that wasn't challenging enough, she faces hostility from her family.
Will she find her way back to God? When Arlana's world collapses, is faith enough?
Josiah and Lachlan represent two distinct worlds and Arlana must make the ultimate decision when her world disintegrates beneath her feet. Whatever her decision, there can be No Turning Back.
A moment of vulnerability. Enduring consequences. Can Arlana ever forgive herself?
Josiah leaves when she needs him most. As Arlana's whole world crumbles around her; her grandfather's terminal cancer, feelings of unworthiness, doubting Josiah's love - things don't seem like they can get worse.
Drowning in grief and fear, she turns to Josiah's best friend, Lachlan. He alone knows her darkest secret. And he still cares for her and offers friendship and support. So she clings to him and the warmth of their friendship.
Josiah however, is cold and aloof. He's a whole different person than Arlana remembers and it's tearing her up inside. All he does is push her away. Arlana knows that the things that matter most are the child growing within her and her young son. She must also find her way back to God, or has He turned His back on her as well?
Caught between two different worlds; she must make a heartbreaking choice. The wrong one might destroy her spirit. Whatever her decision, there's no turning back.
