Faith is the little bird that sings when the night is still dark. Once lost, a person has to find her faith again. But how? After suffering a devastating accident, Rachel Malloy wakens with a stranger. He bears no resemblance to her perception of God, nor does he have a halo so she must not be dead. Regardless, after taking her entire family and leaving her, she and God are not exactly on speaking terms. Rancher Heath Lassiter has prayed fervently and long for a wife. Is she the one? The appearance of a rare white dove shortly afterward seems to be a sign. Despite Heath's unwavering faith and kindness, Rachel refuses to marry him. Dark secrets haunt, secrets that blacken her name, making marriage to anyone impossible. Though disappointed, Heath rebuilds her burned-out house. There, her world again shifts with the discovery of a newborn near her family's graves and a white dove perching nearby. Love grows as Heath becomes a constant in her life. Yet Rachel lives in fear of losing this baby. When the infant becomes very ill, she desperately promises God she'll return to her forsaken faith if He'll heal the child. But first light brings uncertainty. Will the dove return as a symbol of divine mercy, or will Rachel's fragile faith be shattered once more?
