Relentless Love

Living with limits protects a heart from hurt. After unexpectedly losing her husband, it's a lesson Katie Blake has learned well. From moving in with her elderly father to staying at home with her son, Sammy, Katie's life has been arranged to avoid further pain.

After three years, life feels stagnant. It's time to carefully venture into the world once again. Sammy needs friends his age, and Katie needs a project to focus on.

As Sammy adjusts to preschool, Katie finds her perfect job. Her position even allows her to befriend Anna, a young mother who needs encouragement. Events also bring Nathan Phillips, a childhood friend, back into her life. Each successful step forward encourages Katie to continue opening her heart. By the time her friendship with Nathan begins to deepen, Katie is ready to pursue the relationship.

Nathan's encouragement gives Katie strength to make tough decisions regarding her father's care as his dementia progresses. But when Sammy is injured while in Nathan's care, Katie knows she's made a mistake. It won't happen again. Abandoning their relationship in favor of safety is only the beginning. Katie has felt God calling her to help change Anna's situation, but the risk is too great. God will have to find another way to help.

It takes a strange message from her father for Katie to understand God's relentless love and desire for her life to reflect His love. But will Katie take the risk or continue limiting love in favor of a life without hurt?
