In the aftermath of a massive Los Angeles earthquake, the perfect existence Teal Morgan-Adams has built begins to crumble. Teal's daughter, Maiya, is determined to learn the identity of her biological father, despite the loving devotion of her stepdad, River Adams. But that's a secret Teal hoped would remain buried forever. She has never shared the truth with anyone . . . not her family, not River, not even Maiya's father.
As Maiya's rebellion escalates, Teal receives tragic news from her sister and decides to take Maiya home to Cedar Pointe, Oregon, a place she's avoided most of her adult life. But will her already-strained marriage survive the distance and the secrets she'll be forced to face there? And can Teal erase the lies that echo in her heart?

Today there are many variations on the meaning of family. In inspirational author John's latest, Teal's family is comprised of her 15-year-old daughter, Maiya, and River, her husband of five years. They are an independent unit shielded from the troubles of the world. Or so they think until a massive earthquake hits, and long-buried issues rise to the surface. Teal decides to leave Los Angeles and flee to the home she left behind in Cedar Pointe, Oregon. Her world shakes even more as she rekindles a relationship with her half sister and faces her abusive parents. But none of this compares to the excruciating fact that soon Teal will have to reveal to Maiya and everyone else who her daughter's birth father truly is. John knows that family can challenge even the most committed Christian. Her novel encourages readers to let go of the angst and drama and trust that love will triumph. Readers will cry and smile as they consider this drama about the all-too-familiar trials of family life.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
