Weakness Unto Strength - Tapa dura

Life can change in a heartbeat... ...ask thirty-year-old Alan Jameson. His adoptive father's unexpected death and a multimilliondollar inheritance have brought Alan back to Ralston, California, the city he left twelve years ago. During the visitation at the mortuary, Alan meets the lovely Danielle Roberts and sees her as an object for conquest. The day after the funeral, he takes Danielle, her deaf-mute friend Amanda Baker, and five-year-old orphan Nathan Sanders to Slater Park for a picnic in anticipation of persuading Danielle to have dinner with him that night. The day ends tragically. An accident in the park seriously injures Alan, and only Danielle's quick action saves his life. Haunted by a painful secret from her past, Danielle cannot bear to see Alan face his injuries and rehabilitation alone. A devout Christian, Danielle is further burdened when she recognizes that Alan needs far more than physical healing. He has barricaded himself in darkness and rejected the light of truth. Both Alan and Danielle have built walls around their emotional pain. Will they find the healing they need, or will they each build higher walls behind which to hide?
