Stranger on the Morning Bus

Jack Harper rides the morning bus not to get somewhere, but to avoid standing still. He's drifting—through days, through memories, through a fog of exhaustion that no one sees. Until one morning, a stranger sits beside him and speaks directly into his pain. The words are kind. Unnervingly specific. Deeply personal. And then the man vanishes. No one else saw him. No one remembers him. Jack is left with only the echo of the encounter—and the feeling that something sacred just interrupted his life. What follows is a journey from despair to discovery. Through writing, walking old paths, and speaking life into someone else's silence, Jack begins to realize that sometimes healing doesn't arrive in the form of answers or miracles. Sometimes, it arrives in the form of presence. And sometimes, it begins with being willing to stay. Stranger on the Morning Bus is a quiet, powerful story of divine timing, unseen grace, and what happens when a whisper of hope is all we need to keep going. The second standalone novella in the Whispers of Grace series, this book is perfect for readers who crave authenticity, emotional depth, and stories that reflect real-life faith without preaching.
