The Basement Angel

Huddled against the wall of a cold, dark basement, he never imagined life at sixty-three could become so complicated. One impulsive decision has changed his life forever, leaving him a prisoner, not only to the concrete walls that surround him, but also to a suffocating despair that threatens to consume his soul. He rages against the unfairness of life, blaming God for robbing him of all he ever cherished, leaving him with only a festering bitterness.

Now, ten-year-old Janie would suffer as well. Exploiting her presumption of his "real" identity seemed to work in his favor, but at what cost? Would he use her as a means to an end, sacrificing her innocence for his own freedom?

Meanwhile, Janie is drawn to the same dark place, though for a far different reason. A hidden object, a mysterious gift from her father, lies concealed inside. Her mother's strict prohibition only intensifies her curiosity. She knows what is right in God's eyes, but should she defy the rules for a chance to discover its secret?

What she finds in the basement will prove far more extraordinary than she expected--a discovery binding her fate to the desperate man trapped within its walls—a man in need of God's redeeming love.
