Traveling Through

One night on a college campus changed everything for her…and for her son.

Carlie Geraldson and her children, Josiah and Emily, travel cross-country to Brownsville, where her husband will become the new pastor of a church. What will the church be like? Carlie wonders.

And do they know what happened in this house before they arrived? Neither was any of her business, but Esther couldn’t help herself. A welcome visit was in order….
