In a small town in southwestern Michigan, four lives teeter on the edges of happiness and despair. Emily is a divorced high school English teacher. She has a personal relationship with God; she knows He is a loving, forgiving father. Despite her relationship with Him, Emily cant seem to move beyond the past and a painful divorce that haunts her present, as problems with her ex-husband interfere with her current budding relationship. Her son, Tom, is twenty-two and was recently diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. Because of this, his young wife has left him. Although he has become a Christian, he wonders how he will cope with his uncertain future by himself. His younger sister, Katie, is twenty and in college. She wants to have faith in God, but she rebels because a caring God would not give her brother Parkinsons. As she struggles with depression, only time will tell whether anyone can help her turn her life around. Franklin works with Emily at the high school as a social studies teacher. His faith in God is strong, but due to rejection by the person he believed to be his true love, his faith in people is not. He wants to make things work with Emily, but her past may keep them apart. These four people struggle to fix things, but what they must realize is that while they cant solve their problems, God can.
In this Christian cozy mystery, four people are trying to follow God’s guidance in their lives. The scene is a small city (Springton) in southern Michigan near Lake Michigan, in a high school and the local hospital. The big problem, as we learn right away, is Joe, the school’s football coach. If only he weren’t so domineering, conceited, and narcissistic, life would be good. But someone finally has had enough and gets rid of him. Then the mystery must be solved. There are four main characters: Emily, an English teacher; Franklin, her husband and assistant principal in the freshman wing; Emily’s son Tom who is going to college at Western Michigan University but volunteers at the local hospital on the weekends; and Emily’s best friend Pat, who also teaches English. The story is told from the perspective of each of these four people, one chapter at a time. They each go through important life issues as they also try to solve the mystery of Joe’s death.
