Mirrored Reflections

“I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU” Hebrews 13:5

Opposites attract and Chad and Sierra are that. Chad is destroyed on the outside by a suicide bomber
while Sierra is broken on the inside by human trafficking. They are each other’s reflection of who
they are - beautiful but ravaged by life.

Chad Michaels, an Afghan vet, comes home to a suicide bomber who destroys not only his family
but the man he was. Now, he must deal with life as a burn victim -- as a monster. But Sierra sees what a beautiful man Chad truly is.

Not all wounds are flesh. Many are inside one’s soul where Sierra Smith’s scars run deep. Yet, Chad
sees the innocence that Sierra fails to see. Kidnapped at the early age of six, Sierra was raised to become a high-end prostitute who now dreams of becoming a nurse...someone who helps heal people not service them. But her past relentlessly haunts her.

Sierra and Chad are determined to help each other heal from their traumas – whatever it takes. And, somehow, with God’s help, they will survive to see a brighter day.
