THE WEIGHT OF GRACE

(A fallen daughter, a redemptive love, and one small town where God’s mercy turns the weight of shame into the gift of grace)

When shame feels heavier than hope, only God’s grace can set you free.

Hannah Leigh Carver never thought she’d return to Willow Creek, Iowa. Scarred by rebellion and haunted by past abortions, she comes home pregnant again, torn between fear, pressure, and the longing for redemption.

Faced with whispers of judgment and the ultimatum of the child’s father, Hannah is drawn into Grace Community Church, where unlikely friends, a steadfast pastor, and her own mother’s restored love guide her toward healing. As she mentors a troubled teen, learns to forgive herself, and finds unexpected love with Ezra Boone, Hannah discovers that God’s mercy runs deeper than her failures.

With the birth of her daughter, aptly named Grace, Hannah embraces a new purpose: to live not by the weight of her past, but by the light of God’s redeeming love.

The Weight of Grace is a moving story of faith, forgiveness, and the power of second chances, a testimony that even the heaviest burdens can be lifted by His hand.
