Margaret Tuttle's story is one of love unsought, for she had been perfectly content with the well-ordered and conveniently predictable life she had arranged for herself.But something dark lurks beneath the surface of her placid and uncluttered being, something dusty with neglect, yet painful to the touch. Birdie Freeman is everything Margaret is not: homely, humble, and generous. It is Birdie who manages, through nothing but acts of love, to dredge up Margaret's memories of things better left buried. Then Margaret discovers that Birdie harbors secrets of her own.   
  
"This book reminds me of why I love to read."--Michelle Collings, Editor, Doubleday/Crossings Book Club

A moving novel that allows readers to experience one woman's transformation into faith. Richly textured and flavored by a small-town southern setting.
