In 2011, a minor news story made headlines and turned Lori Arnold McFarlane's comfortable life upside down. Residing in Scotland, her life seemed pretty close to perfect - a beautiful family, wonderful friends, a breath-taking view of the Clyde, and a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ. An evangelical Christian and a Calvinist, McFarlane's deepest desire was to glorify and enjoy her God forever. But when a tiny group of religious fanatics began preaching doom and gloom and the End of Days, she found herself suddenly and unwillingly questioning everything she'd ever believed. Her memoir takes us through the next three years as she struggled deeply with her faith, grappling with feelings of abandonment and the soul-crushing silence of the heavenly Father she'd always trusted. Depressed and desperate, she tried everything she could to hold on to her hope in Christ, but as her faith flatlined and her resolve weakened, she began to wonder how much longer she could go on like this - or if she even wanted to. McFarlane tells her story with sensitivity and honesty, providing witty and touching accounts of her most formative childhood and adolescent moments of faith, and provides fascinating insight into many different sects of Christianity she'd encountered as an adult, from speaking in tongues to wearing head coverings. She deals with both the anger and the longing she felt when faced with the question that would ultimately make or break her faith: Do all saints really persevere until the end?

Bea: Till death do us part... That was how it was supposed to go. We didn’t even make it that far. The day of my wedding, I found out that Law, the man I planned to marry, didn’t really love me. Maybe he did, just not enough. Watching a petal fall from my bouquet, almost like a silent tear commemorating the end of a relationship, instead of the beginning of a blessed partnership, felt like a sign. Then, my best friend, Ky, stepped in. He told me that all was well and to meet him at the altar, as planned. I took a leap of faith, and hoped that Law would be there waiting for me. He wasn’t there. That didn’t stop me from getting married though. The difficulty came when Law realized his mistake a moment too late, the moment when I pledged myself to someone else. KY: Stepping in to be my best friend’s replacement husband was the best decision I ever made. I’d been in love with her since we were young, and I wouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to finally make her understand how I felt. This is book 2 in the Robeson Family Novel Series. While each book focuses on a Robeson sibling, they each stand alone as their own story. There is an HEA and no cheating.
