It's not easy to hope for the future when you're still
running from the past.
Sam Kinkade is finally feeling at home as a minister in
rural Toms Brook, Virginia, reasonably content with his life
and Shenandoah Valley congregation. But his plans to welcome
the area's growing Hispanic community to the church are
suddenly met with resistance. Fortunately, when La Casa
Amarilla, the church-run community center, is threatened, a
stranger named Elisa Martinez walks through his door and Sam
realizes he has found a woman capable of building bridges.
Elisa is an enigma. Although she slowly becomes involved in
the community center, Sam is certain from her guarded manner
that she is hiding something. Yet despite their growing
friendship Elisa won't discuss her past. Sam is intrigued
with that Latina stranger, a woman who, despite the
differences in their backgrounds, makes him only too aware
of the intimacy missing in his life.
Elisa isn't looking to make friends, let alone put down
roots. She has come to hide. But despite her fears of
discovery she is enchanted by the beautiful work of and the
friendship offered by the church women who invite her to
join their quilting circle. And even though she fears the
consequences for both of them, she finds herself powerfully
drawn to Sam.
As she waits and prays for a reunion that may set her free,
Elisa is captivated by a generations-old love story. Will
she and Sam repeat the past, or can they find the love and
the freedom they seek at last?
