Most agree that the universal cry of every human heart is Love. What if that hunger has its origin in our Creator? What if that need has been programmed into our spiritual DNA? What if God is the Love we yearn for? What if a relationship with Him is the key to our deep-seated longing? What if intimacy with Him is a clue to our passionate desires? What if we are not only loved, but treasured? Would such knowledge make a difference? Callie, David and Jesse encounter those questions in their personal searches for love and intimacy. Will the culture of their day, the cries of their own flesh and the frustrations of living in a less than perfect world blind them to the treasures hidden in surprising places. Or will they discover the truth of Solomon 6:3? I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine. Though each journey is different, ultimately they individually face the same choice. And their responses make all the difference.

As Callie tries to make new friends, she misses her treasures more and more until she meets two boys from down the street and learns the true meaning of treasures.

Secrets? Everyone has a few. Except for the pleasant ones that produce a knowing smile and put a definite spring in our step, we tend to hide, bury, or camouflage the others. It is the others that the Roberts siblings have knowingly and unknowingly buried. Though their lives are littered with clues, they are oblivious to the connection between the two. For such secret keepers, it is not only disturbing but also disarming when the new family next door begins to openly share their smiley secrets and discreetly disclose the ones that generate tears. The Diamond family's openness about life encourages Jake and Josie to unearth their never-before-revealed stories. What they discover is alarming. Will they choose the love that heals and the truth that sets free? Or will they allow the past to continue to define their present and predict their future? Discoveries await ... either way.

But the demons I've been hiding for years now are growing restless... ...and Pax is thing that will keep them at bay. This is not an act of kindness. Not an act of love. Not an act of forgiveness.
