All She Sought

An abandoned Arkansas lake resort holds the secrets of a young woman’s past . . . and her future.

Raised by her grandfather, flea market manager Julie Pearl Stiles promised herself she’d postpone the search for her absentee father until the truth could no longer hurt Grandpa. Then one crazy June day ushers in a series of discoveries that will turn Julie’s peaceful, small-town life upside down.

Real estate entrepreneur Micah Hobart is haunted by the memory of a devastating childhood mistake. When he’s blindsided by the outspoken young woman determined to rescue a stray dog and her puppies seeking refuge on his property . . . suddenly everything changes.

No amount of philanthropy can blot out the emotional abuse endured by wealthy Little Rock socialite Renata Channing at the hands of a mentally ill mother, and all the money in the world won’t restore the precious “pearl” lost twenty-five years ago in the depths of Lake Hamilton.

As Julie is drawn deeper into the tragic past Micah and Renata share, she’ll question everything she’s ever believed about herself, her family, and her future. Can she find her way to forgiveness and finally, fully accept who she is as a child of God?
