Synopsis

Sometimes the breaking is the beginning.

Tonya had been fighting to keep her family intact, smoothing edges, swallowing hurt, doing her best to be the perfect pastor’s wife. But the moment her husband’s secret comes crashing into the open, everything detonates at once. She finds herself outside in the cold rain, breathless from the shock, while her teenage daughter disappears into the darkness rather than face the wreckage inside.

Emma’s escape lands her in the last place Tonya would think to look: the cluttered, closed-off home of Fiona, the reclusive woman next door. Fiona didn’t plan to take in a heartbroken teenager. She didn’t plan to care. But Emma’s arrival ruptures the isolated world she’s built, forcing her to confront the wounds she’s buried for years.

As Tonya spirals, Emma hides, and Fiona wrestles with the ghosts she’s locked away, something unexpected begins to unfold one block over: a small band of senior women quietly forming a new church from the ashes of the one that failed them. They don’t know what they’re doing. But they can’t ignore the desperation surrounding them.

And the fragile beginnings of that unlikely church are about to collide with Tonya, Emma, and Fiona in ways none of them could foresee.

Gritty, honest, and deeply human, Knocking is an intergenerational Christian novel that refuses to pretty up the brokenness—but dares to believe that God still works in the wreckage.

"Fans of Francine Rivers should take a look!" — Publishers Weekly
