The Prodigal’s Daughter

Rachel Matthews, a small-town pastor's daughter, once yearned for a life beyond her sheltered upbringing. At eighteen, she defiantly chased dreams of fame, leaving behind the only home and family she'd ever known. Years later, the glittering world she pursued crumbled, leaving her broken by addiction, heartbreak, and devastating failure. Unrecognizable, both to herself and to the world that once adored her, Rachel returns home. But her greatest fear—facing the father she so deeply feared disappointing—becomes her most agonizing challenge when she discovers Pastor Daniel suffers from Alzheimer's and doesn't remember her. The Prodigal's Daughter is a raw, emotional journey into the heart of forgiveness, identity, and God's unfailing love. As Rachel grapples with a past she can't outrun and a father she can no longer connect with through memory, she is forced to confront her deepest shame. Through quiet acts of service, the unwavering love of her mother, and a miraculous, fleeting moment of grace, Rachel begins to shed the shackles of her past. This powerful novel explores the complexities of family bonds, the arduous path of healing, and the profound truth that no one is ever too lost to find their way home, to rediscover their true identity in Christ, and to embrace a love that never forgets.
