    About this ebook

    Driven into an animalistic existence, Victoria struggles to survive each night as she lives on the streets; however, when she is rescued by a compassionate doctor, she faces new challenges as he tries to help her become human again. Victoria fights with a past she cannot change, a present she tries to change, and a future she's scared won't change. Interrupting her repetitious cycle, one act of compassion transforms everything. With their hearts full of love Victoria can't understand, a doctor and his sister voluntarily take on the challenge of helping her and becoming her closest friends. They face heartache, trials, and multiplied sorrows, but realize and strive to teach Victoria that the One who brought them together has a grace that is always sufficient.

    Author

    Laura Wirges

    When Laura Wirges began classes at the Missionary Baptist Seminary six years ago, some of her professors suggested she pursue a writing career. She had an article published in the Seminary’s paper, the Searchlight, and upon graduation, she was hired to help proof read that paper. She has always enjoyed writing and can remember writing several short stories when she was younger. When she was fifteen, however, Grace through Every Trial became her permanent project for the next seven years. Laura continues to write and still enjoys her job at the Missionary Baptist Seminary in Little Rock, AR.

      THE MURDER I COMMITTED—it wasn’t simply the strike of a dagger, at night, on the fifth of October, in a brightly lit living room. The murder I committed is a phenomenon of duration, akin more to slow poisoning than a flashing blade. I dare to hope th
