Genre: Biblical Fiction
Release Date: March 28, 2024
Choices her father made before she was even born reached a bony finger into her life, clouding
her future with hopelessness. Her father’s cold heart had no room for her. He easily cast her
aside when the Law permitted it. Defined as an outcast because of a physical infirmity, Priscilla
was told death was her destiny. Despite the limited perspective brought about by years of
adversity, Priscilla fought to keep hope alive and wait for the Lord’s timing.
Aquila lost his father at the most critical time in his life. Battling against grief and bitterness,
Aquila uncovers a secret about his father’s death that undermines his faith in a religious system
that once defined him. Driven from his homeland, Aquila becomes someone he no longer
recognizes.
Two people whose perspectives are skewed by adversity become divinely intertwined in
mysterious ways. As they wait upon the Lord for His timing, would Priscilla and Aquila ever
find the truth that would lift their eyes to the hills so they could see the purpose of life, not only
between a man and a woman but between God and His creation? A poignant story about how
God uses adversity for good in the lives of those who truly love and trust Him.
