Carissa doesn't know who she is anymore. She and her husband, Richard,
are recent empty nesters; Richard is spending more and more time at
work counseling his volatile clients and less time at home with his
wife; his clients are starting to show up at the house at night causing
Carissa to feel scared in her own home; and to top it all off,
Carissa's boss informs her that she's been “let go.” She wonders where
God is in all of this since He doesn't seem to be around to protect her—and she's already stopped trusting her husband.
In
the midst of her world tilting off center, she's offered time at a
hideaway on Maui. Hiding seems like the best way to respond to life's
overload, and the thought of being alone sounds like just the right
balm to soothe her wounded heart.
The languid Hawaiian sun,
white beaches, and warm-hearted people bring respite, but meeting
handsome Kai causes Carissa to toy with the idea of being romantically
involved with him. Then, under a Maui moon, she looks to God for
guidance and hope for the future. That's when she discovers His hand
still is on her life, and that love is closer than she ever realized.
