Single mom, Lauren Woodman, has returned to her Vermont hometown with her six-year old son, and a secret past only her Aunt Tilley knows. When she sees a man walking in a Vermont blizzard, she drives on, afraid to stop. A deer runs across the road in front of her, causing her car to slide into the ditch. The stranger helps get the car back on the road, and although she’s still nervous, she takes him home with her. Lauren and her son, Toby, live with Aunt Tilley.

Wes Evans has been a missionary in the Middle East. Arrested for sharing the gospel and accused of being a CIA spy, he spent eighteen months in prison there, suffering brutal interrogations and torture. Now he’s hiding from the press until he can decide what to do with the rest of his life. All he knows how to do is to be a missionary and now that door is closed to him.

Lauren is attracted to Wes but how would he feel if he knew the truth about her. Meanwhile, Wes is having trouble dealing with his own past. It takes a near tragedy to teach them about God’s wonderful gift of forgiveness. Along Came Love is a heartwarming story of love and acceptance
