Description
Heart of the Country by Rene Gutteridge and John Ward is a Christian novel about marriage, family, betrayal and the possibility of finding a way home. Faith Carraway, once a successful singer, has settled into a comfortable life as the wife of rising businessman Luke, who has invested his inheritance in a promising hedge fund.
When rumours emerge that Luke’s business partners are involved in a Ponzi scheme, Faith turns to her husband for reassurance. But when Luke is arrested, she discovers that he has not told her the truth and returns to the farm and family she abandoned years earlier. Luke, meanwhile, is forced to turn to his own family for help as he tries to deal with the consequences of his mistakes.
As both Faith and Luke confront the families they left behind, the novel explores whether broken relationships can be restored and whether a marriage can survive betrayal. A good choice for readers who enjoy Christian fiction, family drama, marriage stories and themes of forgiveness, grace and reconciliation.
