Dear Billie

Salvation in the Poconos

Herausgeber: Miller, Andrea

Beschreibung

Despite the smile on his face and confident facade, Ben hobbles through life a broken man, suffering from decades of pain and daily struggles with anxiety, panic, and depression. He plans a weekend getaway to Trakehner Inn for his wife birthday, but their Pocono mountain retreat evolves into a life-changing form of divine psychotherapy for Ben. Amid the lush greenery of the lakeside property and hallowed spaces of Trakehner Inn, prayers are answered and salvation delivered. Ben is not the first to come for a visit and find heavenly peace, nor will he be the last. The happy couple’s stay begins a new chapter at this spirited inn, where there’s always room for the grace of God. Dear Billie is an inspirational story that balances faith with the unpredictability of life. Ours is not a perfect world, but faith brings hope, and the possibility of light, after even the darkest of days.
