On graduation day, Robert Jackson voices a dream: to restore his community's rundown houses one project and heart at a time. With a hammer in one hand and hope in the other, he begins laying a foundation built on faith, love, and purpose. A steady job and a growing bond with Emelia Norton give him momentum-until his parents push college over construction and doubt damages the build. Robert must choose which blueprint to follow: the one his parents drew up, or the one God laid before him.
A year later, Solomon Jackson picks up a hammer and joins his brother's vision. At Robert's wedding, he meets Deanna Keaton and can't forget her. When their paths cross again six months later, sparks fly, but her lack of faith and controlling parents demand a change order. To love her well, Solomon must lead with grace, build with patience, and let God do the framing.
Set in the 1980s, When It Began lays the cornerstone for the When God series with two heartfelt origin stories framed by faith, tested by conviction, and built to last.
