Runaway Saint
Lisa SamsonPaperback 2014-02-25
Publisher Description
When her aunt shows up homeless on her doorstep, Sara suspects anything but a miracle.
Sara's an artist with a supportive husband and a house that folks on her block admire outright. But she's restless and bored with life.
Then her legendary Aunt Bel shows up, wearing a smile after years without a word.
Twenty years ago, fresh out of college, Bel left for a summer missions trip and never returned. Now she's on Sara's doorstep, looking for a place to crash. Sara can?t say no to family, even if she hasn?t seen Bel since she was a nine-year-old girl. But saying yes to Bel turns Sara's whole precariously-balanced life upside down.
The enigmatic Bel gives Sara's family and their community a jolt of fresh thinking and clarity.
But Bel is hiding something. Though she won?t talk about it, Sara soon learns that Bel has been through a hellish ordeal. And she has the burn marks to prove it.
