Where Faith Begins

She thought she had it all figured out. Then a letter arrived and changed everything.

Margaret Holloway is 58 years old, twice-divorced, and running the most successful real estate agency in Maplewood. She's the woman everyone comes to for advice—sharp, capable, always in control.

But Margaret has a secret. One she's carried for forty years.

When she was eighteen, she fell in love with Thomas Reed—the mechanic's son, the boy from the wrong side of town. When she got pregnant, her father made sure Thomas disappeared. He told Margaret that Thomas didn't want her. He told Thomas the baby was gone.

Both of them believed the lies. Both of them spent forty years grieving what they'd lost.

Now a letter has arrived from Claire—the daughter Margaret held for twenty-three minutes before they took her away. Claire has found Thomas. She knows the truth. And she's determined to bring her parents back together.

But after four decades of walls and wounds, can Margaret and Thomas find their way back to each other? Can Margaret forgive the father who stole her future? Can she forgive herself for not fighting harder?

Where Faith Begins is a story about second chances, buried secrets, and the stubborn grace that finds us when we've stopped looking. It's about learning that faith isn't about having all the answers—it's about taking the next step anyway.

"For everyone who thought it was too late. It's not."
