Forgiveness is one thing, but who really forgets?
Ivy Griffith has been released from jail after serving time for covering up the strangulation death of a high school classmate ten years earlier. She&;s paid her debt to society. Kicked her drug habit. She&;s making a fresh start.
Problem is, everyone in her hometown of Jacob&;s Ear, Colorado, knows what she did. And her seven-year-old son, Montana, won&;t stop probing about the father he has never met&;the man Ivy was too stoned to even remember.
Plagued by her own shame and her little boy&;s cries for male affirmation, Ivy is thrilled when Rue Kessler takes an interest in Montana and her. Maybe, just maybe, he&;s the answer to prayer she&;s been waiting for.
But Rue has a shadow hanging over his past and is suspected in a rash of bizarre, brutal beatings. He denies any involvement, and Ivy believes him&;until she discovers he and Montana have kept a secret from her.
At a loss for what to believe or where to turn, Ivy&;s on the verge of despair and wonders if even God has given up on her. Or is something bigger at play here&;something being orchestrated outside of her control that&;s about to bring down the curtain on everything including her past?
