Author Description

Survivor's guilt rears its ugly head occasionally after the murder of Emma Lee Holmes' first husband, Scott, while on their honeymoon ten years earlier. After five years of grieving, she meets and marries Barry. Well-educated businesswoman Emma knows all about success while she climbs the corporate ladder. Now at thirty-five, her lifelong plan of having children one day is inching away. Her busy schedule leaves her limited time with Barry while splitting her work schedule traveling between Austin and San Antonio for business. Her fragile relationship between her mother and sister encourages her to keep the first marriage hidden. Their constant rejection left her no alternative. But like all secrets, they're never hidden forever. A friend arrives in her hometown, and questions arise. How will these events fall into place? Will the lies, misunderstandings, and heartaches threaten her current marriage and once again cause another rift in her family relations? She questions why she cannot sustain any relationship for long. Will Emma finally trust God with her life instead of putting Him in a box and only bringing Him out when she sees fit? What does God's path look like if she does surrender to His Will? Will the shadows from her past ultimately expose the truth?
