Light in a Dark Place

Description

Some choices may change your life forever … unless you find hope.

Two Nights: Senior Luke Bradford never imagined a single night could alter his future, not until he blew out his knee in the fourth quarter of Easton High’s Homecoming game. He and sophomore Abby Collins were voted King and Queen that year, but they missed the dance, and he lost his chance for a football scholarship.

Two years later, Abby threatens to break up with Luke if he doesn’t stop using heroin and oxycodone. She loves him, but how much longer can she deceive to her parents? They might not notice her dwindling bank account as she drains her savings to help Luke, but she has one secret she can never hide. The night of her grandmother’s death, Abby made a mistake that will turn all of their worlds upside down. She is going to have Luke’s baby.

Can Luke and Abby find God’s grace and accept that reality sometimes demands new dreams?
