The faithful, the weary, and the faithless converge on an inner-city church during a raging blizzard. Seeking solace and answers - or to just get away from what awaits them outside the warm comfort of the Sanctuary - each in their own way, soon learns from God about who they are and where their destinies lie. Karen Kelly Boyce's second novel delves deeper into the mysteries of faith in this richly woven tale of self-discovery.

In a dilapidated trailer on the edge of town, a young mother collapses. Her death leaves four children lost to the care of a shattered man who drowns himself in whiskey, then takes off without them. Can Mary Catherine find it in herself to forgive her father for abandoning them? Michael's unexpected death forces Elly to return home to her cold, selfish mother to face the ghosts of her past. Battling depression, can she find hope within? Stained by poverty, Joseph is a controlling entrepreneur who rises to the top, only to lose his wife and business. Will a prison sentence lock him away forever, or be the key to real change and freedom? These characters face the age-old alternative between good and evil; reaching out in love and forgiveness, or closing themselves off in hatred and pain. The directions they take intertwine their lives and leads each of them on a path to Truth.

In the fast-paced world of technology we live in today, we seldom pay much attention to the journey each of us are on; instead we remain focused on the goals ahead of us. As we take this journey, friends and family members walk alongside of us. But sometimes, life gives us an unexpected detour and we are forced to leave that main road and those we love, and travel alone to the unexpected. This is what happened to author Karen Kelly Boyce when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her travels that first year chronicle her shock, denial, acceptance, hope and survival. This book is one of laughter and tears, struggle and triumph. A must read for anyone facing a difficult journey...or knows someone who is.

On an unseasonably warm February day, ten-year-old Angie delivers the town tabloid with natural wisdom and confidence. The characters she meets along her way have varied adult troubles and lives. Born with Down syndrome and an ability to see angels, Angie’s simple knowledge and common sense transform those who line her route. Based on the third joyful mystery of the Rosary – the birth of Christ, Angie’s story emphasizes that God often speaks to us through others. He delights in using the weakest to reach the strongest. Christ humbled himself to come as a babe, so his wisdom comes to us through those considered the least by society. Karen’s third, highly anticipated novel continues the spiritual journey her readers have come to expect.
