Soul's Cry

Ione has everything she?d wanted with her busy shop filled to the brim with sumptuous fabrics, gossiping debutants, and a neatly increasing profit margin. Not to mention the unexpected attention of a man who doesn?t know her past. And then the letter drops from the mail slot onto to lush carpet. He?s back. And the abuse, the shame, rushes in, reminding her of how unworthy she really is. Miriam also has everything she?d wanted?and with a baby on the way, for the first time in her life, she has everything to lose. When she?d been alone, the future had held promise, but now with her life full, it also holds fear. Unwilling to risk a vision of loss, Miriam stops painting what will be?right before Ione needs it most.
