Things go well at first, but then Scott loses his job and becomes abusive towards Sami. She is thankful that he does not take his anger out on their small daughter, Amber, but she doesn’t know how long that will last. What will it take to convince Sami to leave Scott and turn him in to the police? Can she allow herself to love again?

Matthew Darling had always though there could have been something between him and his best friend in high school. He wanted to kick himself upon returning to his hometown after being away almost seven years for college to find that Samantha had moved away six years earlier. He gets a job as a Christian counselor at a mega-church in a large city. ‘Who is that sittingin the second row?’ he asks himself when he is introduced to the congregation. ‘Can that be Sami?’ His heart felt a sting when she told him that she was married. It hurt even more to find out how her husband was treating her.
