When a tornado rips through Meadowbrook, it exposes more than broken roofs-it lays bare the grief Sam Collins has tried to outrun since his wife's death. Reluctantly back in his childhood parsonage with his eight-year-old daughter, Ella, Sam wants only to fix what's in front of him and keep his heart walled off from God. But the town he left behind has other plans. In the quiet courage of neighbors, the steady kindness of a young pastor, and the innocent prayers of a child, Sam encounters a grace he thought he'd lost. Then he discovers his late father's final sermon-a message about the God who remains in the boat when storms rise-and everything begins to change. From splintered pews and tarped windows to a grand reopening drenched in light, Meadowbrook rebuilds together-and so does Sam. Between God's promise and every storm stands a choice: to live guarded by anger or to risk hope. Poignant and uplifting, Between God's Promise and the Storm is a story of second chances, a father's love, and the community that helps him believe again.
