Four years after his death, Abbie still struggles to put the pieces of her life back together and wonders if God has abandoned her. Many areas of her life-especially her current teaching job-do not make sense anymore.

An unexpected offer to teach at Timothy House causes Abbie to take a long, hard look at her life. Wanting desperately to believe that God has not forgotten her and yet unwilling to let go of the hurt deep within, Abbie must confront the inner landscape of her heart. The decision she makes will determine the course her life takes. Can Abbie accept the goodness of God? Can Keith overcome his fear of losing someone he loves once more? Can Abbie be persuaded to open her heart again to God's love and Keith's? Abandon Not My Soul is the story of how hope and forgiveness save them both.
