His Secret Daughter. Lisa Carter

СКАЧАТЬ He’s searching for home. This story is also about trusting God. With the good. With the bad. With everything.

      Home. What images does that word create in your mind? For some, the memories are good. For others, memories of home are extremely painful.

      But I believe the longing for home is at the core of who we are as humans.

      As Jake discovers at Apple Valley Farm, no matter how tragic the past or present, God has a place of belonging for each of us. And I believe no matter where you’ve been, no matter where you are right now, no matter what you’ve done—that God can take what is broken and make it into something beautiful. In fact, I think He delights in bringing beauty out of brokenness.

      Why did I write this story? Because it is my prayer that no matter where you’ve been, no matter where you are right now, no matter what you’ve done—that you will ultimately find in Him your home. The happily-ever-after for which you were truly made.

      I hope you have enjoyed taking this journey with Callie, Jake and Maisie. I would love to hear from you. You may email me at [email protected] or visit www.lisacarterauthor.com.

      In His Love,

       About the Publisher

       Chapter One

      Jake McAbee didn’t know much, but he did know when he was in the middle of nowhere.

      A place he’d been before. Many times, in fact. Like the derelict trailer park where he’d grown up. Or the jagged peaks of an Afghan mountain range. And today on a deserted road somewhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

      He slowed the truck, going as far as the pavement allowed on the dead-end road. Performing a U-turn, he cranked the wheel hard. If only getting free of his dead-end life was as easy as turning his truck around.

      Sighing, he palmed the wheel and headed out the way he’d come. He should’ve gone left at the fork. A mistake soon rectified. If only everything else wrong in his life was as easily fixed.
