What happens when a cardinal rule is broken?
What if you're the one who breaks it?
Can there be redemption?
Is there hope?

The sins of our fathers are long reaching. Joanie Brusseau knows what happens when cardinal rules are broken. As a kid she survived it—barely. It cost her everything.

“Never hurt a child.” It’s a fundamental principle and now she’s broken it. Can she survive this too?

What happens next is unexpected, perhaps miraculous. A chance encounter sets her on a journey of risk and adventure. Joanie’s story gives hope to all of us—people in bad shape, in deep trouble—to accomplish great things in the world.
