9781595545442: Resurrection in May

Synopsis

A strange and wonderous friendship ignites the fire of love in May Seymour's life.

Lovely and winsome May Seymour graduated from college with the world at her feet...and no idea what to do with it. A spontaneous mission trip to Africa brought great surprise--love--and a strong sense of purpose. But in loving others there, she encountered a severe tragedy that left her deeply wounded.

She comes to heal at the farm of Claudius Borne--a sweet, kind old man who understands plants and animals far better than people. And his farm becomes May's home.

There on the farm, May renews a friendship with an old college flame named Eli whose path has taken unexpected turns too. As May tries to convince Eli to grab hold of life once again, he begins to pull May from her sheltered existence. Like old Claudius's farm in Spring, May begins to blossom back into life. But no resurrection ever comes without sacrifice--and this sacrifice will forever transform May.

From the Back Cover

It was a mission trip to Rwanda that brought a sense purpose to May Seymour's life. So when the genocide began, May decided to remain in the country. When her village was attacked, May became the lone survivor -- an event that changes her completely, and brings her faith into question.

Claudius Borne was a sweet old man who understood plants and animals far better than people, yet it was to his farm that May went to heal. Years later, May has still not stepped foot off the farm. When May hears that Eli Campbell, an old college boyfriend, now a death row inmate, is refusing to appeal his sentence, she becomes determined to convince him that he must grab hold of life again. Their surprising friendship actually turns the tables on May, as Eli gradually begins to pull May out of her cloistered existence.
