    About this ebook

    Carole Garner's life is smug and secure until she learns her recently deceased Aunt Effie was, in reality, her mother.  As she tries to adjust to this shattering news, her husband's infidelity of twenty years ago, comes to light.  She leaves her husband and her daughter, and retreats to the home her mother left her.

    Jack Garner must find a way to persuade his wife to forgive him. He visits her and begs her to return to him. She will, under one condition. He will faithfully attend church with her.  Jack, an avowed agnostic refuses. They quarrel. He storms off into the night and meets with a crippling accident.

    Carole is faced with the most difficult decision of her life. Does she leave her unfaithful husband, or does she hold fast to her marriage vows, trust God, and stay?
