Publisher's Synopsis
Pastor Noah and Marlena Phillips's love for each other may not be enough to keep their new marriage from quickly disintegrating. An upcoming trial, cultural differences, their interracially blended family, and the subtle prejudices of others have become a formidable enemy.

"No, not particularly," she responded, not in the mood to talk.
"Do you mind if I do?" he asked.
"Suit yourself," she replied in a dismissive tone.
"Look, Marly, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but--"
"But what, Noah?" she lashed out abruptly, feeling her anger resurface.
