Jeff and Maddie Bowman lost their precious daughter, Emma. Although the death was an accident, both struggle with feelings of guilt. Sometimes grief will pull two people together, but in Jeff and Maddie's case, it only drives them farther apart. Now their marriage has deteriorated to the point they are discussing divorce.

Rose, Maddie's cousin, has cancer. She needs someone to take care of Timmy, her seven-year old son. Maddie reluctantly agrees to take Timmy, but Jeff is furious. He doesn't want to deal with a small boy on top of everything else. Timmy is a precocious, extremely intelligent little boy who loves God and can't understand why Jeff and Maddie fight all the time. He decides to give them the benefit of his advice.

Sharlene MacLaren's Through Every Storm is a heartwarming story of two people so overwhelmed with grief they almost destroy themselves and their marriage, until a concerned little boy shows them the importance of love and trust. Indeed, a little child shall lead them. God has a plan for Maddie and Jeff, but first they have to be open to His leadership. Through Every Storm will grip your heart from the first page, as Jeff and Maddie fight their way out of the darkness that threatens to consume them into the light of God's love.
