After three years in Bolivia,
Mallory Davis, an ESL teacher, is returning to the United States with her new husband, convinced they’re leaving his criminal past behind and starting a different life together.
Then a detour through Canada changes everything.
When her husband is arrested, Mallory is left to continue alone, unaware that his luggage, containing secrets that could destroy her, have been checked in her name.
As the truth begins to surface, Mallory is forced to face not only her husband’s betrayal, but the lies she has believed about love, safety and herself. Along the way, unexpected people step into her path, quietly guiding her toward something she never intended to seek. In the middle of lies and loss, Mallory begins to discover that redemption can rise from ruin and that God might be working behind the scenes, even when she can’t see it.
Pulled into a web of lies, betrayal and escalating danger, Mallory must uncover the truth before it destroys her, and she must decide whether the life waiting on the other side of that truth is worth claiming.
