Synopsis: There are some who are blessed to hear the Divine voice. Stephanie Holmes is one who does hear. Like a modern-day Job, she is a reluctant traveler who follows an extraordinary path during a freak snowstorm that leaves her and her fiance, Daryl, stranded in the mountains of East Tennessee. On Christmas Eve, no less!

Oh, and is it mentioned, she is eight months pregnant?

Daryl Robard knows these mountains. From one side of the vast wilderness to the other. He grew up here. Wants to come back home, to live his life here with Stephanie. And that life - that future he desires - starts now. He's certain he cna find them shelter from the storm.

But Stephanie is reluctant to trust him or God. This is more than just a journey home. It's a journey of faith.

For both of them.

Review: I really liked this novella. The synopsis likens Stephanie to Job, but I also saw Mary, Jesus' mother in her, and in this journey. Wonderful modern-day nod to the Christmas story. 

I'm looking forward by reading more books from this local author.
