The Matheson family has always been the cornerstone of the Mission Grove, NC community. But deep wounds begin to blur that idyllic image of the preacher's family when they can no longer hide the pain of past events.

Their story is an adventure that cast its hook in several engaging directions at once, eventually reeling us back into the core of the family. They chase after hope, but must first come face to face with the very things that threaten to destroy it.

Family secrets must be brought into the light. Dangerous missions must be carried out and fears overcome. Thinking must be challenged and people must evolve. And the Mathesons will do it with faith and a sense of humor, no matter how much it hurts.

A feel-good story with a happy ending and valuable lessons along the way make this a wonderful and engaging adventure.
