When disaster strikes, faith is tested-but some families learn that doubt and belief can walk hand in hand.
In 1963, a devastating tornado tears through the small town of Riverside, nearly claiming the life of baby John and shattering his mother Margaret's certainty about God's plan. When Pastor Eugene dares to preach honesty over easy answers, their church-and their faith-is forever changed.
In 1963, a devastating tornado tears through the small town of Riverside, nearly claiming the life of baby John and shattering his mother Margaret's certainty about God's plan. When Pastor Eugene dares to preach honesty over easy answers, their church-and their faith-is forever changed.
Thirty years later, Margaret's daughter Rebecca works disaster relief in earthquake-ravaged California, discovering that the most powerful ministry happens when you admit you don't have all the answers. Armed with inherited wisdom about sitting with people's pain instead of explaining it away, she learns that presence matters more than theology.
In 2025, Rebecca's son Marcus faces his own test when catastrophic flooding threatens the same church building that sheltered his family's journey through honest faith. As three generations gather to rebuild once again, they discover that some questions are more sacred than answers-and that love endures long after certainty crumbles.
A sweeping multigenerational novel about a family learning that faith isn't the absence of doubt, but the courage to show up anyway.
Perfect for readers who loved The Book of Lost Names, The Midnight Library, or Where the Crawdads Sing-and anyone who's ever wondered if it's possible to believe in God while still asking the hard questions.
