| Publisher Description: Truly alone, his head hanging low, tears are dropping onto his lap. Already disgraced, this pastor feels no need to defend himself. There have been many arrests of the clergy recently, religious institutions are weakening, and the unbelieving public wants answers. The local police are ordered by the District Attorney to bring him in, to make him accountable to his accuser for the crime she alleges. But Robert Love, this clergyman, is falsely accused. He searches his memory for a clue to explain this injustice. Had he mistaken the events of his life, the way he saw God working and leading him into the ministry? His divorce and response to the false allegation of infidelity is in his past. More recently there was the baby's funeral and the unexplained reason for its death, as well as the demise of the mother to cancer. She had refused radiation treatments, sacrificing her life for the other, an unborn child which didn't survive. It all seemed so unfair, even cruel. Thrisa is the only bright spot in this pastor's otherwise dreary work at the parish and she is found in a garbage dumpster, left for dead. Then answers to the mystery are suddenly revealed at the bedside of a man even as he exhales his last breath. The final verdict: "not guilty " Doubt plagued Robert Love with the simple, haunting question: "why?" But in the midst of all his troubles, wisdom rescues with everlasting peace.
