Wounded by life in both body and spirit, and unable to come to terms with the trauma of his Vietnam War experiences, Joseph Brooks stayed away for years from Allie, the girl he promised to marry. He’s living alone in the Carolina mountains when he discovers a mother and her two small children lost in the forest. He helps them get back to family in Florida, and then returns to his own hometown where he reconnects with Allie. Their lives have been complicated, and redemption comes through a surprising twist of events.
Charles Martin, a redemption storyteller, draws us into this story of courage in the face of struggle, and the efforts of two brothers to make amends.
“I’d seen what evil could do. Evil never gave itself for anyone. It takes what it doesn’t own. Evil dominates, controls, eradicates, and if you let it inside you then you spew hatred, which is just another name for the poison we drink hoping it’ll hurt someone else. But not love. Love rushes in where others won’t. Where the bullets are flying. It stands between. Pours out, empties itself. It scours the wasteland, returns the pieces that were lost, and it never counts the cost. Love heals the shattered places.”
