Emma's Hero

      “God won’t give me more than I can handle? I’m pretty sure He just did…”

 

After a year of loss and bad choices veered Emma Reynolds from her lifelong beliefs, she finds herself pregnant and alone at her twenty-week ultrasound hearing the words "incompatible with life." When her son, Theo, is born alive, Emma fights to give him the best possible chance at life. Convinced Theo's suffering is her punishment from God, Emma drowns herself in fear and desolation while single-handedly caring for a baby with special needs.

 

Enter Ben Sullivan, a paramedic with an easy smile and a heart for the Lord, who seeks the only thing missing in his life--a marriage like his parents had. Emma's heart could heal through the love of this selfless man if she can make peace with the pain of her past and find the faith she lost.

​

A high-school blogger, Mason Hughes, battling loneliness and lack of self-worth since his father left years ago, is catapulted into Emma's life when his mom volunteers him to help her each week. The job he initially resents becomes the key to a life he never thought possible.

​

A blizzard hits Minneapolis, endangering all their lives. Can Mason trust a faith he is just discovering to let God use him in a crisis? As Theo's tiny life connects them to each other, their loneliness breaks under the love of community and they will never be the same
