Justin Moore is a successful architect who loses his business, his home, his life savings, and his reputation when - fire destroys Liberty Tower One, the residential condominium that was to have been his masterwork. Seven people died in there.
Having lost everything, Justin and his wife, Hannah, move into a tiny apartment in Branford Gardens, a dead-end slum on the south side of Chicago. Haunted by his memory of the tragedy, Justin begins drinking to escape his agony.
Unable to watch her husband slowly destroy himself, Hannah asks Justin to move out until he can pull himself together.
Homeless and heartsick as well as destitute, Justin promises that he will turn his life around. Briefly, he is able to keep his promise, but then Hannah, the love of his life, dies in a tragic accident.
With nothing left to live for, Justin is on the verge of committing suicide when he meets Grace McFarland, a wealthy widow with a terrible secret she desperately needs to hide. Grace promises Justin that she will restore his fortune if he will help her bury her past. By the time Justin learns the magnitude of Grace's secret, it is too late for him to refuse.
This is a story about faith, love, loss, and redemption, and learning to value those things that endure when all else is stripped away.
