Hollow Places

Description

Social worker Alli Johnson devotes her life to protecting foster kids from the system that once shattered her. But beneath her fierce advocacy lies a heart frayed by trauma and guarded by cynicism. When a high-risk case leads her to Grace House—a faith-based group home run by an infuriatingly compassionate youth pastor—Alli is forced to confront the very beliefs she’s spent years outrunning.

David Porter has known his own share of brokenness. Redeemed from a reckless past, he’s now driven to help others find the healing he’s found in Christ—starting with the wary seven-year-old placed in his care…and the strong-willed woman who shows up bristling with skepticism and fierce devotion.

As snow begins to fall and twinkle lights warm the long winter nights, shared concern draws Alli and David closer. Between fireside cocoa, holiday pageants, and the raw honesty that slips out when defenses fall, attraction blooms. But with their opposing worldviews and painful histories, can they risk believing in something neither dared hope for?

Hollow Places is a heart-stirring Christian romance of second chances, quiet grace, and love that defies fear. Perfect for readers who crave slow-burn tension, found family, and redemptive hope wrapped in winter’s glow.
