But the worst has yet to hit, and it will take every ounce of courage in Candice to survive the collisions of faith and reality.

Enter the world of OEH. Join Candice in Book #2 of the Times series as she discovers the sacrifices that follow obeying God's will. Best of all, it is a world based on real people and events.
