Set in Northern Appalachia, this poignant novel tells the story of five-year-old Cassie Carruthers, a little girl who lives in a bug-infested shack in the hills of Western New York's Southern Tier.

But Cassie's isolation has not gone unnoticed in the tight knit community of Phillipsburg.

She sees her own tough upbringing in Cassie's dire situation, so she works tirelessly to guide the young girl, trying to help her become everything that God wants her to be.

As the stakes grow ever higher and the characters' lives intersect in unexpected ways, each will face a true test of faith-and come face to face with indisputable evidence of God's love.…
