Beneath The Surface - Hardcover

by Vada Hightower (Author)

It is 2002 as Melvin stands atop the bluff that overlooks the now-deserted land he has inherited from his recently deceased father, glancing down at the ground he has called home all the years of his life. As memories flood his mind, he realizes he is not as prepared as he should be for the uncertainty that lies ahead, but grateful he has his wife, Mattie, by his side to help him. Although his spiritual journey has been rocky at times, his faith in God is strong.
Eight years later, Ida is a devoted teacher who is doing her best to claw her way out of the darkness that has enveloped her mind and prompted suicidal thoughts. As she heads to a beautiful bluff that brought her much peace in the past, she reflects on her life experiences and her own spiritual journey while navigating her way through a path lined with thick briars and branches. She has driven to this place for answers-searching for something outside herself, her own being. Will she find the answers or something much better?
In this beautiful story of faith, love, and hope of new beginnings, God strategically places two strangers together, intertwining their pasts with connections only He could have known.
