Carissa doesnât know who she is anymore. She and her husband, Richard, are recent empty nesters; Richard is spending more and more time at work counseling his volatile clients and less time at home with his wife; his clients are starting to show up at the house at night causing Carissa to feel scared in her own home; and to top it all off, Carissaâs boss informs her that sheâs been âlet go.â She wonders where God is in all of this since He doesnât seem to be around to protect herâand sheâs already stopped trusting her husband.
In the midst of her world tilting off center, sheâs offered time at a hideaway on Maui. Hiding seems like the best way to respond to lifeâs overload, and the thought of being alone sounds like just the right balm to soothe her wounded heart.
The languid Hawaiian sun, white beaches, and warm-hearted people bring respite, but meeting handsome Kai causes Carissa to toy with the idea of being romantically involved with him. Then, under a Maui moon, she looks to God for guidance and hope for the future. Thatâs when she discovers His hand still is on her life, and that love is closer than she ever realized.
