A October 2026 Reading Is a Lifestyle Subscription Book Pick

Five-year-old Abby is losing her battle with leukemia. Her only hope is a newly developed treatment her mother, Celeste, can’t afford, and their insurance won’t cover.

After escaping a brief, abusive marriage to a drug dealer, Celeste Barr vowed never to marry again. With Abby’s life hanging in the balance, she signs up for the therapy, trusting that God will make a way.

Still grieving the wife he lost to cancer, Hunter Harrington believes his dreams of family died with her, until he meets Celeste and Abby. Out of a growing conviction that God has brought them into each other’s lives for a reason, he offers an extraordinary solution: marry him, and Abby will qualify immediately for the coverage she desperately needs.

As hope begins to replace despair, a marriage born of necessity slowly unfolds into love. But danger closes in. Celeste’s violent ex-husband is watching, and his return threatens everything they’ve begun to build.

Can their faith, trust, and growing love protect the family they’ve become—for the love of a child?
