Plot

"Eric Bennington is a survivor, but nothing has prepared him for the battle he faces between truth and deception. Only the God whom Eric has rejected can help him now, but is it too late? Due to a court order and his son's probation from a juvenile court judge, Eric is forced to send his nine-year-old daughter back to live with her mother while he takes on the challenge of overseeing his son's sentencing of individual and group therapy. With his ex-wife's accusations of his failure as a father ringing in his ears, Eric returns home to find his mother pressuring him to reconcile with his sister, who has stirred up memories he desperately wants to forget. The secret Eric has kept for years and its emotional turmoil now threaten to destroy him. A devastating fire, suspicion of arson, and the accusations of his family force Eric to confront himself. When an argument with his father brings about a fatal heart attack, Eric must choose between wisdom and folly...between scorn and humility...between his own pride and God's grace..."--P. [4] of cover.
