How Does a Rabbit Take on a Wolf?
Even on a good day, librarian Carrie Jamieson struggles. Marked by childhood trauma, she is often overwhelmed, lacking basic confidence in herself and in her considerable artistic gifts. It's her husband, Daniel, who helps keep her together, but when a devastating accident takes him, she is sent spiraling, her fragile faith stretched beyond breaking.
Driven by guilt for having blocked Daniel's dreams of missions work, Carrie travels to Honduras to help the Liconas, missionaries in the impoverished village of Agua Caliente. In this primitive world, she finds a new life, sometimes beautiful, sometimes terrifying. She is challenged by new friendships and given the chance to paint a masterpiece.
But Agua Caliente isn't as peaceful as it seems. Hector, a narcotrafficker obsessed with the occult, has proclaimed himself its master. He holds pregnant Paloma and her blind daughter in his control, and young Chavo, desperate to take care of his family, is lured by his promises of wealth. But where will following Hector's dark dreams lead them?
As their stories intertwine, Carrie learns she is more capable than she ever imagined. But is she strong enough to take on Hector and his devilish plans for a new-born child?
