Where the Mountains Sing When River Rises

Months after welcoming baby Lila into their home, Grace and Elijah Walker are beginning to find peace again. The garden blooms, laughter returns to the walls of the parsonage, and the scars of past grief are slowly becoming stories of God's redemption. But the river is rising-literally and spiritually. When a flash flood devastates parts of their beloved holler, the church becomes a shelter, and Elijah must lead a weary flock through disaster relief efforts. Meanwhile, Grace is forced to confront her own rising fear as Lila's biological mother unexpectedly resurfaces-threatening the adoption she and Elijah had come to treasure as secure. As the waters rise around them, so do the stakes: trust, family, calling. In the storm's wake, they'll have to choose-cling to what they've built with their own hands, or surrender everything to the God who gives and takes away. Because some storms come to wash away. Others come to uncover what was always meant to remain.
