When 30-something housewife Alison Monaghan discovers proof of her
husband's infidelity in a photograph with a mysterious woman, she must
decide how to confront Frank when he returns home from work. Despite the
influence of her best friend, Valerie, a strong Christian, Alison
remains aloof from God and is determined to handle this crisis her own
way. But Alison may not get that chance.
Frank never makes it home. Soon his body is found on a lonely
back-country road in antebellum Weathersby Historic Park, where Frank
served on the board of directors and where Alison, with a degree in
landscape design, was a volunteer garden docent. Homicide detective Mike
Barefoot, a Cherokee native from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North
Carolina, immediately puts Alison at the top of his suspect list. He
finds himself drawn to her - and not just because she had motive for the
crime. As an army veteran, Mike usually keeps his emotional walls high.
And as a detective, he knows not to get involved with murder suspects.
So why he is so attracted to Alison? Can he fight his feelings for her -
and the stirrings in his heart toward God?
