When her aunt shows up homeless on her doorstep, Sara suspects
anything but a miracle.
Sara's an artist with a supportive husband and a house that
folks on her block admire outright. But she's restless and bored
with life.
Then her legendary Aunt Bel shows up, wearing a smile after
years without a word.
Twenty years ago, fresh out of college, Bel left for a summer
missions trip and never returned. Now she's on Sara's doorstep,
looking for a place to crash. Sara can't say no to family, even if
she hasn't seen Bel since she was a nine-year-old girl. But saying
yes to Bel turns Sara's whole precariously-balanced life upside
down.
The enigmatic Bel gives Sara's family and their community a jolt
of fresh thinking and clarity.
But Bel is hiding something. Though she won't talk about it,
Sara soon learns that Bel has been through a hellish ordeal. And
she has the burn marks to prove it.
" Samson's] gift for creating unique, flawed character elevates
this book above others. Each line has so much truth, and readers
will likely ponder different passages long after finishing."
--"Romantic Times Review," TOP PICK 4 1/2 stars
"Samson's quirky characters will have readers laughing, crying,
and shaking their heads in disbelief, sometimes all at the same
time. This uplifting read . . . will attract fans of women's
fiction and especially works by authors Sarah Jio, Anne Tyler, and
Alice Hoffman." --"Library Journal"
