What if you could glimpse the future and understand what tomorrow might hold--if you really walk out that door today? Pay attention. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Noah and Emily Carter seemed destined for forever. From their emotional first meeting to a picture-perfect proposal and lavish wedding, theirs was a love to be admired. Their carefully curated life has earned them over a million fans on Instagram, a social media fairytale built on filters and perfection. But behind the screen lies the truth: a marriage quietly unraveling, as Noah's obsession with online fame strains their bond, challenging their faith and values--a raw portrait of fame in the modern world.

Emily, heartbroken, confides in her friend Kari Baxter Taylor, revealing that she and Noah have made a final decision. He's leaving in the morning.

But the next day, Noah wakes to a world turned upside down. Emily has vanished, and his children are years older. In a night reminiscent of A Christmas Carol, strange, surreal events unfold that force him into a desperate spiritual journey--one that will test his character and desire for personal redemption.

Now, only a miracle can bring him back to yesterday.

When We Were Young is a touching inspirational romance set over the course of a single day. It's a powerful meditation on love, regret, and the gift of choosing again--crafted by an author who crafts stories celebrated for her emotional impact and grace-filled narratives.
