To Forgive, Divine

As Jeff Wells and Bonnie Callaway’s story unfolds, things aren’t always as they appear. Betrayal and distrust threaten any hope of rekindling the love they’d begun to feel for each other. Enter a young boy who desperately needs their help, an embittered young woman who learns about forgiveness from them, and another couple who need the merest push from our reluctant lovers to re-write their own ill-fated love story. As Bonnie and Jeff watch lives transformed all around them, they must confront their own failure to forgive. How can they recommend forgiveness to others and deny it to each other?
