From acclaimed novelist Angela Hunt comes the story of life within a funeral home. Jennifer Graham—mother, student, and embalmer's apprentice—could use a friend. She finds one in McLane Larson, a newcomer to Mt. Dora, and is delighted to learn that the young woman is expecting a baby. While McLane's soldier-husband serves overseas, Jen promises to support McLane and then learns that her tie to this woman goes far deeper than friendship. When a difference of opinion threatens their relationship, however, Jennifer discovers weaknesses in her own character . . . and a faith far stronger than she had imagined.
