Promises of Mercy_Book 5 River Falls.jpg

"What an amazing read!  I couldn’t put it down. It was so emotional and really pulled me in."

He walked away from his faith, his family, and his first love. But God’s mercy has a way of chasing those who run.

When a career-ending diagnosis forces renowned heart surgeon Judah Calvano to return to the hometown he vowed never to see again, the last person he expects to find is Faith Armstrong—his first love—running the local pie shop with the same quiet strength that once captured his heart.

Faith has finally found peace. She’s built a stable life for herself and her teenage son, leaning on God through every hard season. But Judah’s return shakes everything she’s fought to hold together—including a secret she’s kept for nearly two decades.

When a burst pipe threatens her bakery, the last person Faith wants help from is Judah. But as they’re drawn back into each other’s lives, it becomes harder to deny that God may be stirring something new in the ruins of what they lost.

But when the truth finally comes to light, will it bind them together…or be the thing that breaks them for good?
