In between a checkered past and a fairytale future, a decision awaits.
Brad Cutler, twenty-eight, is a rising star at his New York ad agency, about to marry the girl of his dreams. Anyone would agree he has it all—a great career, a beautiful and loving fiancée, and a fairy tale life ahead of him … when memories of a high school girlfriend begin to torment him. Lost innocence and one very difficult choice flood his conscience, and he is no longer sure what the future will bring except for this: He must go back to the shores of Holden Beach in search of his first love, and a forgiveness neither of them has ever known.
Three people must work through the repercussions of a decision made long ago before any of them can look toward a new future.
Pub. Date: October 2009

Karen KingsburyStaff Recommend:"Karen is a GREAT author but I especially enjoy her stand alone books! They hit me hard each time, each with their own heart wrenching theme. This particular story gets to the core of what is needed....a close and personal relationship with Christ. Entwined with that is all our human emotion and ideas on what should happen. This story hit me on so many levels emotionally, I was a mess (in a good way). Most important there is no sin too big for His grace, nor any forgiveness not worth giving."
