Author: Melanie Campbell
Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink
Release Date: August 1, 2019
Genre: Inspirational Women's Fiction

Cassie Peterson lives in an invisible prison of fear, chained by self-doubt and guarded by a relentless warden—her husband. Derrick’s verbal and physical abuse as well as his alcoholism have left Cassie alienated from her family, without friends, and certain she can’t survive on her own. 

After an unexpected police visit, Cassie realizes the survival of her four-year-old daughter, Renee, depends on Cassie’s courage to leave. What she doesn’t plan on is Derrick’s vengeful custody fight. 

While walking through the treacherous world of divorce, Cassie is encouraged by her spunky new friend, Missy Langdon, to pursue her love of waterfalls. Cassie finds solace in the waterfalls on the agonizing weekends she’s forced to hand Renee over to Derrick. Meanwhile, unexpected help comes in the form of Brian Sutton, an attorney at the firm where Cassie works—but what price will she ultimately pay for his assistance? 

As Derrick’s threatening behavior escalates, Cassie questions her choices. How long will her daughter suffer before the custody case is resolved? Why is she drawn to waterfalls during this chaotic time? And who will stand with her when everything comes crashing down?

We drove to the retirement home for lunch. “So, did you like the church?” Nannie asked.

“It was nice.” It had been nice, despite my discomfort with being in church.

“Pastor Matt is a wonderful man. My heart breaks for him, though. He lost his wife six-months ago. She had an aggressive form of cancer.” 

“That’s terrible.” Thinking back, I had seen a note of sadness in his otherwise peaceful, easy-going countenance.

Nannie nodded. “I’m not sure how much longer he’ll stay in Stayton. I pray for him every day.”

My jaw tightened. Why would God let such a horrible thing happen to a man who devoted his life to Him? 

“I’m surprised he even wants to keep pastoring.” Bitterness oozed from my words.

I felt Nannie’s gaze. “Cassie, honey, the bad things that happen to believers isn’t because God’s punishing them. It breaks God’s heart more than we can imagine. But He always finds a way to work all things for our good.”

I sighed, not ready for a religious conversation with Nannie. “Well, I hope He can turn the sandwiches at the retirement home into something good, because I’m starving.”
