Kristy Turner wants to be accepted. To belong. But is it worth the risk? Convinced she doesn't fit, she withdraws. How could it possibly be safe to reveal her past? Billy Watson is determined to pursue relationship with Kristy. But when he does, he is surprised. Can he partner with someone so wounded? Or, even more challenging, a woman restored?

She desires a new way of life, but God wants her to become a child? Billy is downright obnoxious about it. It can't happen. What does he want, anyway?
