What a Wave Must Be

What do you do when the unthinkable happens?

Frank and Susan Lawton have every reason to be happy. They keep busy in semi-retirement, they’re active in their church and community, and their only child has become a prosperous businessman with a beautiful wife and a precocious teenage daughter, Maddie.

But one day the unthinkable happens, and Frank and Susan cannot understand why God allows such a thing. Has he abandoned them? Was he sleeping on the job?

When a heartbroken Maddie comes to live with them, Frank and Susan find themselves on an unexpected journey to a new understanding—an odyssey of the heart.

Honest, tender, heartfelt. Hunt examines the topic with such gentle insight we realize how anyone can be impacted . . . and find hope.”  –Bill Myers, author of Rendezvous with God series.
