Jump in the raft with Heather, starting down the rapids of the Ocoee River in Tennessee where she meets James S. Bennett. As she falls in love and moves out West, she faces various trials in marriage and raising a family, culminating with raging currents of caring for James when he becomes tragically ill with stage IV brain cancer. Join Heather and her two children, Jake and Elizabeth (Lizzy), as she explores the heartaches of this intensive season and reflects on the grief that followed his death. As the pages unfold, Heather invites readers to enter the turbulent river to discover the accompanying presence of the suffering Servant, Jesus Christ, who navigated the waters ahead of her. With Jesus as her guide, Heather and her family embark on a journey to Rwanda, where they are transformed as they encounter widows, the fatherless, and the broken who direct them to shalom.
