SummaryA new novel about faith, family, and finding the courage
to do the right thing from the author of Love and Biology
at the Center of the Universe.
Police officer Jessica Villareal has always played by the
book and tried to do the right thing: She's worked hard at
her job and even harder at her family. Despite all that, she
finds herself approaching midlife divorced, estranged from
her daughter, alone... and completely unhappy. And she's
wondering if she ever made a right choice in her life.
But then Jess discovers an Iraq vet and his young daughter
living off the radar in the Oregon woods, avoiding the
comforts—and curses—of modern life. Her
colleagues on the force are determined to uproot and
separate Lindy and her father, but Jess knows the damage of
losing those you love, and believes the pair is safer and
happier together.
Jess recognizes her chance to make a difference by doing
something she's never dared. Because even though she's used
to playing by the rules, there are times when they need to
be broken...
