As nurse Nancy Galbraith becomes Dr. Damon Barton's wife in the brightness of a sun-glorified stained-glass window, Damon's love dims the searing memories of the flames that etched permanent scars on her body and spirit. Six months later, their idyll is shattered when a white supremacist group threatens their property...and even their lives. Their only weapons against prejudices, evil, and the desire for revenge are love for God, each other, and their patients.

Damon and Nancy's medical and surgical skills have brought healing to many at Seattle's Shepherd of Love Hospital. Now the dedicated doctor and nurse must find a way to heal themselves. Yet in spite of a deep and abiding faith, they cannot help wondering if even God has forsaken them in their efforts to serve Him in a frightening, out-of-control world.
