About Becoming Us
What hope is there when the pain of the past revisits the present?
Seven years ago, Melanie Coombes made a heart-breaking decision to protect the man she loved. Broken inside, she accepted her fate, worked hard, and buried her pain and disappointment in her career.
Managing a busy ER in Sea Haven Beach, she never expected to see Wade Acton again. Let alone work alongside him or discover her feelings from years before had never gone away.
But all too soon, old wounds are reopened, and the painful truth she’s harboured for so long is revealed when an unexpected family crisis thrusts her into the role of caretaker for her nephew.
After all their years apart, can Melanie find the strength to trust Wade with her truth? Will she relinquish her brokenness and trust God’s plans for a future filled with hope?
