Description

Sometimes were allowed to glimpse the beauty within the brokenness . . .

Savannah Barrington has always found solace at her parents lake house in the Berkshires, and its the place that she runs to when her husband of over twenty years leaves her. Though her world is shaken, and the future uncertain, she finds hope through an old womans wisdom, a little girls laughter, and a man whos willing to risk his own heart to prove to Savannah that she is worthy of love.

But soon Savannah is given a challenge she cant run away from: Forgiving the unforgivable. Amidst the ancient gardens and musty bookstores of the small town shes sought refuge in, she must reconcile with the grief that haunts her, the God pursuing her, and the wounds of the past that might be healed after all.

Where Hope Begins is the story of grace in the midst of brokenness, pointing us to the miracles that await when we look beyond our own expectations.
