Nate Beckett has spent his life fighting wildfires instead of the lies and rumors that drove him from his Colorado hometown.

But that means facing Brenna too. Fourteen years ago, Nate was in love with the preacher''s daughter. When Pastor Strickland discovered Brenna had defied him to sneak out with Nate, the fight between the Pastor and Nate''s drunken dad was loud--and very public. The Pastor was found murdered later that night, and everyone accused Nate''s father, Roy, of the murder. When the church burned down not long after, people assumed Nate set the fire to get even for his father''s conviction. He let the rumors fly and left town without looking back. Brenna is stunned to learn that the man convicted of murdering her father has been pardoned. The events of that night set her life on a bad course, and now she''s fighting a brutal custody battle with her ex and his new wife where he''s using lies and his family''s money to sway the judge. Brenna is barely hanging on. As Nate and Brenna deal with the present--including new information about that fateful night and a wildfire that''s threatening their town--the past keeps igniting. Nate is the steady force Brenna has so desperately needed. But she''ll have to learn to trust him again first.

As the women of Cedar Circle band together to save a dying child, they learn that each moment is precious in every season under the heaven. Taking the best and worst of human circumstances—the tender moments, the laughter, the tragedies, and the triumphs—Beverly LaHaye and Terri Blackstock weave from them a poignant, warmly human novel. Gently uncovering the inner struggles, stresses, and joys that surface among neighbors living in a quiet cul-de-sac, the authors show us the power of ordinary lives being knit into a strong, many-textured fabric of family and friendships. Seasons Under Heaven depicts the deepest emotions of a woman’s heart, and those circumstances, both thrilling and tragic, that test and strengthen Christian faith. “A tearjerker with strong female characterizations and believable mother-child relationships that is likely to be very popular” —Booklist
