What does a child’s life-threatening disease cost the neighbors of Cedar Circle? What joys can be hidden in life’s ideal tragedies? Behind brightly lit windows and on front porches, marriages are tested and mended, hearts damaged, expectations resurrected, dreams released and reformed, beliefs and futures designed, and trust rekindled . or found out for the very first time. Taking the best and most severe of human being circumstances-the tender occasions, the laughter, the tragedies, and the triumphs-Beverly LaHaye and Terri Blackstock weave from their website a poignant, warmly human novel. Softly uncovering the inner struggles, stresses, and joys that surface among neighbors living on a noiseless cul-de-sac, the writers show us the power of normal lives becoming knit into a strong, many-textured fabric of family members and friendships.
