Shannon and Austin Mercer have turned the Lantern House into a refuge for weary travelers and hurting families. But during a violent rainstorm, a frightened woman named Michelle arrives at the inn with her young son, Noah-and it quickly becomes clear they are running from something.
Michelle carries a letter from her late mother directing her to find Shannon's grandmother, Sadie. Although Sadie is gone, Shannon refuses to turn them away. As Michelle slowly reveals the truth about her past, Austin discovers that her mother was connected to a dangerous secret his own father helped conceal many years ago.
When an unfamiliar truck begins appearing near the inn and threatening messages follow, Sheriff Cole Avery steps in to protect Michelle and Noah. His steady faith and gentle kindness make Michelle feel safe, but trusting another person may require more courage than escaping the danger behind her.
As old secrets surface and danger closes in, everyone at the Lantern House must rely on prayer, courage, and one another. Michelle must decide whether she will continue running-or believe that God has finally led her somewhere she and Noah can call home.
Beyond the Porch Light is a clean Christian romantic-suspense novel about healing, family, faith, hidden secrets, and the power of leaving the light on for someone who has nowhere else to go.
