DESCRIPTION
Synopsis from Christian Book Previews:
Can keeping one little secret from one’s family end in anything but disaster? Ursula Rhoades has been the stellar housewife. She supported her husband as he climbed the corporate ladder, raised two God-fearing, responsible children, and served her community through a multitude of volunteer efforts. Suddenly, Ursula’s husband is called away to New York City to work on the case of a lifetime, one that will secure him the coveted promotion to senior partner at the law firm. Ursula finds that her empty nest has left her lonely and searching.
Then a dream Ursula thought she had long ago buried becomes possible. Should she pursue it? How might it change her family? Can it hurt her husband’s career? Ursula grasps the opportunity but hides it from her family, deceiving herself with the thought that one little secret doesn't really matter.
Alison Bottke paints a realistic picture of a marriage that, although far from perfect, is based on God and therefore built on solid ground. She deals with the theme of long lost dreams and how they can be restored. She helps the reader learn that God’s gifts are to be treasured and used, not ignored or buried. Bottke takes her readers into exhilarating, heart-palpitating moments where one has to remember to breathe. The story is one wonderful ride.
