Shortly after delivering her son, Sharre was told by doctor’s to make “arrangements” because he would be gone by that night. Situations in her life had always seemed to not work out the way she had planned. It seemed like true happiness was an unattainable goal.

But no matter how crazy things in her life were, one thing she knew for certain: God’s gifts were without repentance. Playtime was over! She put on her war gear and went toe-to-toe with the enemy and tenaciously pursued after all the things God had spoken to her.

She becomes acquainted with an American girl of Muslim ancestry—now a devout Christian—Sara. Sara has problems of her own due to her brother Emir’s suspicious behavior.
