A Christy Award winner from the best-selling author of War Room! In the small town of Dogwood, West Virginia, Karin has buried her shattered dreams by settling for a faithful husband whose emotional distance from her deep passions and conflicts leaves her isolated. Loaded with guilt, she tries to raise three small children and “do life” the best she can. Will returns to Dogwood intent on pursuing the only woman he has ever loved—only to find there is far more standing in his way than lost years in prison. The secrets of Will and Karin’s past begin to emerge through Danny Boyd, a young boy who wishes he hadn’t survived the tragedy that knit those two together as well as tore them apart. The trigger that will lay their pain bare and force them to face it rather than flee is the unlikely figure of Ruthie Bowles, a withered, wiry old woman who leads Karin so deep into her anger against God that it forces unexpected consequences.

A legend of the dogwood tree. This is a beautifully illustrated picture book about the dogwood tree being the wood used for the cross in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

A touching religious story about the dogwood, this illustrated tale reveals that the slight tree once grew as strong as the oak. After the Romans used the dogwood to form the cross to crucify Jesus, the dogwood asked Jesus to forgive him. Jesus decreed that the tree would never be used in such a way again, and thus it now grows as a petite, beautiful plant. In the spirit of the Easter season, this tender book inspires families and teaches them about remorse and forgiveness.

If you love "Footprints," you must have this also! The legend of the dogwood tree is a beautiful religious poem. This is a beautiful cross stitch piece. The color chart and instructions make it so easy.

This books taps into the powerful imagery of trees to suggest ways that one may sink roots into God's Word and grow strong branches that bear the fruits of faith.
