Searching

A missing boy. A frantic mother. A grandmother whose prayers refuse to give up.

When fifteen-year-old Levi Langford disappears after a night with the wrong friends, no one in Carver Harbor seems to care—except the woman who loves him most. His mother Nora, exhausted from double shifts at the care home, knows something is wrong the moment she steps into his empty bedroom. The police brush her off. His friends lie. His phone turns up abandoned in the rain on a private road. And Nora's worst fear becomes impossible to ignore:
Her son didn't run away. Someone took him.

But Nora isn't the only one searching.

Across town, beloved church matriarch Esther is watching everything unfold with a heart full of conviction. She sees the broken boy behind Levi's tough exterior. She sees the desperate mother beneath Nora's anger and fear. And she sees God's hand moving—in ways neither woman understands yet.

As a storm rolls over the peninsula and time runs out, the community of New Beginnings is pulled into a hunt that tests faith, reveals secrets, and forces unlikely people to lean on each other in ways they never expected.

Intense, hope-filled, and achingly human, Searching is a powerful Christian novel about a missing child, a mother's fierce love, and a God who can find us even in the darkest places.

Perfect for fans of Karen Kingsbury, Charles Martin, Terri Blackstock, and heartfelt, page-turning stories of redemption, rescue, and grace.
