Lauren Woodman is a woman with a secret only her Aunt Tilley knows. When she sees a man walking in a Vermont blizzard she drives on past, afraid to stop. It isn't safe to pick up strangers, even in this remote area. But a deer runs across the road in front of her, causing her car to slide into the ditch. The stranger helps get the car back on the road, and she doesn't feel she can drive off and leave him, so she takes him to Aunt Tilley's house.

All Wes Evans wants is a place to rest while he decides what to do with the rest of his life. A missionary in the Middle East, Wes was arrested for sharing the gospel and accused of being a CIA spy. After eighteen months of brutal intererogtion and torture in a Middle Eastern prison, he is hiding out from the press. He's attracted to Lauren, but he's having trouble dealing with his past. Besides he has nothing to offer her. All he knows how to do is be a missionary and even that is closed to him now.

Lauren is perturbed by the growing affection between Wes and her six-year old son. How would he feel if he knew the truth about her. It takes a near tragedy to teach Lauren and Wes about God's wonderful gift of love and forgiveness. Carrie Turansky does a good job of pulling the reader into the story.
