Cheryl Anne Whitaker has spent a year carrying her family's every burden alone. Her father is gone. Her mother is too ill to leave her bed. And the little rented house that has sheltered them all is about to be torn down. With thirty days to find somewhere - anywhere - they can afford, Cheryl Anne takes a free afternoon and rides a city bus to the end of its line, praying for nothing more than an idea. What she finds instead is an old stone barn standing empty on a green hillside - beautiful, forgotten, and entirely unsuited, by any sensible measure, to house a family of six. She asks anyway. Samuel Grayson, heir to the estate that owns the land, could easily turn her away. Instead, he offers her far more than a fair price - quietly, without ever making her feel the difference between his world and hers. As the Whitakers settle into their unlikely new home, and as Samuel's kindness deepens into something neither of them planned for, the two families are drawn steadily closer together. Then Cheryl Anne's employer sends her on a confidential errand to Washington - and what should be a simple trip becomes a brush with danger she never saw coming. Watched, followed, and drawn into a scheme far beyond her understanding, she finds herself far from everyone who loves her, with only her faith to stand between her and men who mean her real harm. Set against the small comforts and simple faith of the 1970s, A Shelter of Grace is a story of quiet courage, unexpected danger, and the God who provides refuge in ways we never think to ask for - woven through with Scripture, tenderness, and a romance built to last.
