Beauty from Ashes

Beauty from Ashes (An Orchard Grove Christian Women's Fiction Novel, #1)

A baby was never part of Tiff’s plans. Especially not a sick baby in a NICU, struggling for life on a ventilator.

As days in the hospital turn to weeks, Tiff grows more and more convinced that God is punishing her for turning her back on him so many years ago. Or is it possible he's working in the midst of her daughter's bleak prognosis to draw Tiff back to himself once more?

instead of mourning,

and a garment of praise

instead of a spirit of despair.”
