This is one of those books that once you pick up it is difficult to put down. Even more difficult to grasp is the fact that what is contained within the pages of this book is a factual account of real events. This story of one man's promise to his daughter, and his daughter's faith, and the redemptive power of forgiveness will change your life.

In this story Floyd must come face to face with the truth of what actually happened aboard the boat the night her parents were killed. She also had to come face to face with the young men that did the unthinkable. Yet in the midst of this raging storm she is able to reach out through the love of Christ and minister forgiveness to a searching soul. Would you be able to do the same? Could you trust that the hands that formed you would sustain you? Could you abide in the Shelter of the Almighty - trusting His provision for strength?

It may even cause you to ask the hard questions about how strong your faith is - how closely you are walking with the One who can sustain you, who can still the storms. In the end this book will leave you amazed once again at a God who loves beyond measure, who redeems the lost, who forgives that which is unforgivable in our own strength, and who is steadfast in the storm.
