Skye

By Heather Gray

Description:

Skye Blue is tired. She’s worn out from days spent doing what’s expected of her while her heart longs for something else. It doesn’t help that the past has colored her every decision with guilt and fear. When Skye reaches her limit, she packs a bag and runs away from it all…and headlong into Sam.

Sam Madison is a battle-hardened former Marine who can face an enemy combatant without blinking. He is also a man dedicated to serving God by working with those military vets that society often rejects. Samaritan’s Reach, a place that houses and retrains homeless veterans, is the start of Sam’s dream — but an overreaching City Council threatens everything.

How can love develop between a woman who hides from her problems and a man who has never considered backing down?

Book Takeaway:

It's easy to hide from our problems and from our fears, but in the end, we're only harming ourselves when we do that. Life wasn't meant to be monochromatic. It's meant to be colorful and loud and messy...and beautiful.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to write a story that reminded me how beautiful life could be in the midst of difficult circumstances. I wanted people to know that God didn't create us for a life of surviving or just getting by; he created us to thrive, to have our cup overflow, and to love.
