Softly and Tenderly — Rachel Hauck; Sara Evans

MAYBE IN THE WIDE-OPEN COUNTRY SHE CAN LEARN TO BREATHE AGAIN

Happily married and owner of two successful boutiques, Jade longs to begin a family with her husband, Max. But when she discovers that Max has an illegitimate son -- who he wants her to help raise -- Jade's life is turned upside down

She flees to her childhood home, a rambling Iowa farmhouse, with enough room to breathe. There -- while her mother's health grows fragile, and the tug of her first love grows stronger -- Jade begins to question everything she thought she knew about family, love, and motherhood. In the wide-open landscape, Jade begins to see a future that doesn't rest on the power of her past, but in the goodness of God's tender mercies.
