Grace in the Ruins

Elena Matthews loses everything in a devastating fire—not just her childhood home, but the last remnants of a life she thought she could control. As she sifts through the wreckage, despair threatens to consume her, until she unearths a single, miraculous survivor: a charred Bible. The fire failed to destroy it, just as it can't extinguish the promise of a new beginning. Reluctantly, Elena begins the painful process of rebuilding, a task made more complicated by Daniel Cole, the quiet, handsome widower and contractor assigned to the job. As new walls go up, old ones come down, forcing Elena to confront the deeper ruins left by her divorce and a lifetime of pain. While subtle sparks of attraction flicker between them, both Elena and Daniel are held back by fears and scars from their past. Grace in the Ruins is a story of grief, faith, and the transformative power of forgiveness. It is a testament to the belief that healing can emerge from the darkest moments and that a new, more beautiful life can be built on the foundation of a shattered one. Can Elena surrender her pain and embrace the truth that beauty can truly rise from the ashes?
