Choices her father made before she was even born reached a bony finger into her life, clouding her future with hopelessness. Her father’s cold heart had no room for her. He easily cast her aside when the Law permitted it. Defined as an outcast because of a physical infirmity, Priscilla was told death was her destiny. Despite the limited perspective brought about by years of adversity, Priscilla fought to keep hope alive and wait for the Lord’s timing.
Aquila lost his father at the most critical time in his life. Battling against grief and bitterness, Aquila uncovers a secret about his father’s death that undermines his faith in a religious system that once defined him. Driven from his homeland, Aquila becomes someone he no longer recognizes.
Two people whose perspectives are skewed by adversity become divinely intertwined in mysterious ways. As they wait upon the Lord for His timing, would Priscilla and Aquila ever find the truth that would lift their eyes to the hills so they could see the purpose of life, not only between a man and a woman but between God and His creation? A poignant story about how God uses adversity for good in the lives of those who truly love and trust Him.
Book Excerpt
More than a few times she went without because there wasn’t enough. Regardless, she was grateful whenever she did get to eat.
Almost as regular as the delivery of bread, nuts, and fruit was the attendance of religious leaders. Foolish girl that she was, at first she hoped that her father had a change of heart. Perhaps he sent them to find her. Maybe he wanted her back. But no matter how much she wanted it to be true, it wasn’t. She had to come to terms with the rejection that now marked her identity. No. The religious men were not there for her rescue.
Careful to keep their distance, the men with flowing robes hovered at the top of the stairs, watching like hawks circling the land for the slightest movement of vermin that would prove to make a tasty meal. Prisca wondered why they were there, their whispers not loud enough for her to make out their intent. There was only so much their tapping, perfectly clean feet could tell her. The fact that the men were impatiently waiting for something was clear. What they were waiting for or looking for, she had no idea.
