Twenty years ago, fresh out of college, Bel left for a summer missions trip and never returned. Now she&;s on Sara&;s doorstep, looking for a place to crash. Sara can&;t say no to family, even if she hasn&;t seen Bel since she was a nine-year-old girl. But saying yes to Bel turns Sara&;s whole precariously-balanced life upside down.

The enigmatic Bel gives Sara&;s family and their community a jolt of fresh thinking and clarity.

But Bel is hiding something. Though she won&;t talk about it, Sara soon learns that Bel has been through a hellish ordeal. And she has the burn marks to prove it.

"[Samson's] gift for creating unique, flawed character elevates this book above others. Each line has so much truth, and readers will likely ponder different passages long after finishing." &;Romantic Times Review, TOP PICK! 4 1/2 stars

"Samson&;s quirky characters will have readers laughing, crying, and shaking their heads in disbelief, sometimes all at the same time. This uplifting read . . . will attract fans of women&;s fiction and especially works by authors Sarah Jio, Anne Tyler, and Alice Hoffman." &;Library Journal
