When they told her about Southern hospitality, no one mentioned human trafficking.
The move to Bay Town, Mississippi was supposed to be a fresh start for single-mom Melanie and her daughter, Lacy. The quiet Southern town offers a nice relief after the frenetic-paced life of Los Angeles, but something sinister lurks beneath the surface.
Her bridal business struggles to take off, and instead of turning to the Lord, Melanie makes a desperate plea for help–from her ex-husband. Lacey and a friend are attacked, and while Lacey is hospitalized, her friend goes missing—a victim of human trafficking out of New Orleans.
With her ex-husband showing true signs of repentance, the pastor she’d begun to fall for taking a step back, and her daughter’s friend lost to the animals who stole her, Melanie goes on a desperate, dangerous mission to rescue the girl and get their lives back.
And she’ll do it with or without the Lord’s help.
How can Melanie find the girls and rescue them without getting caught herself? Why can’t she trust the Lord to keep them all safe, and which man in her life is the right one–if either?
Read this heart-gripping, pulse-racing novel and see how the Lord’s hand is on us, even when He seems so very far away.

Excerpt

She recalled the last big wedding in Malibu. That was what she dreamed would put her on the map, and here she was struggling again.

“I see. Did your husband help with the business back there?”

Melanie’s smile faded. “My husband?” Her face wrinkled. “How do you know him?” Besides one close neighbor, Melanie had never spoken of her ex-husband, and surprisingly, no one asked.

“Oh. I’m so sorry. I just assumed. I mean … your daughter and …”

Melanie shrugged. “Oh, no worries.” Her eyes darted back and forth. “Shhh, I’m divorced.” Once the words escaped, she could sense how terrible he felt. “I’m kidding. Hey, this is the new millennium, Pastor. Divorce isn’t a dirty word anymore.” Melanie joked, but her throat tightened at the thought of her own failed marriage.

She blinked long and sighed. “Bad joke. You know, Bible belt and all.”

He chuckled. “Well, I apologize if anyone in the church has said anything. I know with some people, it’s still a sensitive subject. And I’m sorry if I gave that impression.”
