In a world where the unforgivable is justified by deep-seeded religious beliefs comes this true-to-life story of the Parrish family of Justyce, Georgia. Renowned surgeon Dr. Vince Monahan grew up memorizing "The Holy Writ;" the Bible of The Church of Truth. When his focus turns to the 11th Commandment: "Thou shalt not enter into covenant with those of a different nation," he feels God's purpose for his life is to offer eternal salvation for those unfortunates born into sin. After seventy-two-year-old Zeb Parrish takes custody of his grandchild, Lillie, after his only daughter dies, he sets out to find the man who left his daughter behind heartbroken and pregnant. T.J. Bennett is about to be released from prison again, his past a road map of bad decisions. He's been a drifter for most of his thirty-three years, doing handy jobs as he moves from place to place. Maddy Johnanson's life turns upside down when her husband leaves her for another woman. The lives of four people, each from different walks of life, are about to intersect when six-year-old Lillie Parrish goes missing. There is little time to find the child, however, before something is stolen from her that she will never have back.
