Riding a wave of excitement, a young couple steps out in faith, only to discover that they are about to experience the most challenging year of their lives. Madison Baron has pre-wedding jitters as she prepares to commit her life to her childhood sweetheart, Luke, a man she deeply respects and loves. With her nursing degree completed and a ring on her finger, not only is she about to move into … move into adulthood and marriage, but also to a distant land, where she and her new husband will serve as missionaries in a orphanage sponsored by their church. Are they up to the call God has placed on them? And when tragedy strikes, will Madison have the strength to press on?
Meanwhile, back in Sandy Cove, Madison’s brother Caleb is facing his own struggles. Adopted at birth, his relationship with his father is deteriorating into a battle of wills, and Caleb decides to set out on a quest for answers as he delves into the roots of his past. But will those answers bring him the peace he desires, or will he find himself more distraught than ever?
Through the heartaches and difficulties this young couple and teen experience, they must each come to terms with what matters Above All Else, as they examine their faith and learn to see themselves and their heavenly Father in a new way.

Comments from readers of the Sandy Cove Series:
Rosemary’s writing strongly reminds me of Karen Kingsbury…rich details, how well the characters are written, the complex story lines…
Poignant. Timely. Touching.
Excellent read…Rosemary Hines has the exceptional talent to bring her characters to life and etch them into your heart and mind!
Loved all the characters and was reminded of Karen Kingsbury. I felt this series surpassed Kingsbury’s!
Captivated from page one…I couldn’t put it down.
Rosemary Hines has moved into a place that ties Karen Kingsbury! Her characters and their life challenges are real.
Captured me from the first page. I felt a part of the story. I laughed, I cried.
Rosemary Hines never fails to craft a story that both glorifies God and edifies the reader.
How can an author fit so much heartfelt emotion and spiritual/godly wisdom into one story so well?
From the beginning, Rosemary Hines had me totally hooked. Finally a book with an uplifting story.
Absolutely LOVE this series!!!!
Rosemary Hines knows how to tell a story and pull at my heart strings…you can’t put down her books.

Love Sandy Cove series!
It was an easy book to read. I enjoyed reading this book.
Some really good sermons here.
Enjoyed reading this book.
This has been a good series, probably close to the end.
I’ve loved everything I have read by this author. Stories of Christians facing real life trials. Very real to life not romanticized.
I enjoyed most of the book but was disappointed because so much was graphic or said about the first relationship and the wedding night, a true Christian book will be really good without that and that is why I seek inspirational or children’s books. The marriage bed is pure and undefiled but I do not want it in my books
I loved this book as well as all of the others in the series.
I feel like the characters are my friends.
I thoroughly enjoy following their journey in life and the growth of each character as they go through life’s ups and downs and their relationship with God.
It is very true to life.
A wonderful book that I could not put down. I recommend it to Christians and non-Christians alike.
Rosemary Hines knows how to get and keep my intrest. This book is one of a series conserving adoption. In the story we see how it effects the family when the adopted son wants to know his natural father. Caleb already knows and has a relationship with his birth mother, now he wants to find his father.
good characters. good focus on Christian values and the struggles that living a Christian life.
Excellent next installment in the lives
of the Sandy Cove people.
Great characters and multi level plot!
I love Rosemary Hines’ books, inspirational and easily read.
Wonderful.
