Based in the tropical setting of Hawaii, it recounts the relationship \u00a0of three couples in various stages of life: \u00a0Protagonist Dezarae is left underground with a life-threatening head injury for three days. \u00a0Derek Makoa, her Hawaiian assistant, berates himself for not expressing his love for her when he had the chance. \u00a0Thousands of volunteers search for Dezarae and wonder why God would allow such a tragedy.<\/p>\n

Barke says, “Whether it is through the tragedy of the first half of the book, or the daily struggles Dezarae faces in the last half, Christians will be reminded that God will never leave us for forsake us.”<\/p>\n
