ens, God has a way of turning tragedies into triumphs, sometimes by taking us in a different direction and on an unexpected journey, toward a moment in time that can miraculously change our lives forever. But the path leading to that moment can also be a long and rocky road and over some very rough terrain, filled with shadows and dark places. Yet as the saying goes: It's always darkest before the dawn . . .

Young widow, Libby Dawson, has only been going through the motions and simply surviving, ever since her beloved husband died of cancer. It seems their life together ended before it had barely gotten started, and she can't imagine how she'll go on without him. Then one night, her bedside lamp mysteriously goes on by itself and appears to have a mind of its own. Much to her surprise, her attempts to fix her lamp end up taking her down a path that she never dreamed she would walk. And she steps into a whole new world of lights, color and artistry, where she discovers gifts and artistic talent that she didn't even know she had. Yet all the while, she can't help but wonder how she'll survive the overwhelming grief of widowhood. Will it completely consume her? For that matter, will she ever know real joy again?

Then there's Caleb MacKnight, an old-fashioned guy who falls prey to a modern scam artist, a very beautiful and charming scam artist. She tried to take his money and threatened to ruin everything he's worked for, along with his family's custom-home building business. But she succeeded in taking something far more important-his confidence. And now he's left floundering, no longer believing he can trust his own judgement when it comes to women. As far as he's concerned, he has no future, aside from his work.

Two broken souls on a collision course with one moment in time.

A life-altering, destiny moment.

When the light shines through the darkness once more.

Because sometimes, God has other plans . . .

"'For I know the plans I have for you, ' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.'"

(Jeremiah 29:11, NIV)
