Leah's Journey Home

Witnessing a violent shipwreck during a savage storm on North Carolina’s Outer Banks in 1899, 20-year-old Leah, unmarried and pregnant, kneels in the sand and prays that her destiny will not be like the ship’s: that she and her baby will survive in a world which has no tolerance for unmarried mothers. Leah’s faith, which she learned from a beloved aunt, will sustain her through many coming storms.
