Destined for a life where she could never marry, she nevertheless felt a pull toward Jude—gorgeous, rebellious, promiscuous Jude. But Jude, driven by demons no one really understood, disappeared into Baltimore's seamy red-light district to a life working the streets. Mary-Margaret moved on with her life, preparing to serve God with her sisters as a teacher and artist.</p> <p>Then Jude comes home—but now he's bitter, dissolute, and diseased. And Mary-Margaret receives a divine call that shakes her to the core, a call to give up her dreams and marry the troubled man who befriended her so long ago. For Jesus' sake, can she forsake the only life she ever wanted for a love that could literally cost her life?</p> <li>A beautiful novel of God's grace in impossible circumstances</li> <li>Book length: approximately 90,000 words</li> <li>Includes discussion questions for book clubs</li> <li>Also by Lisa Samson: Quaker Summer, Embrace Me, Bella, and The Sky Beneath My Feet</li>.
