Jason Barrett is the widowed pastor of a small rural church in the high desert of Arizona. While walking in the desert, Pepper-his faithful Australian shepherd-finds the body of a homeless girl. One event leads to multiple events that only God can put together. Pepper never leaves Jason's side, and helps him comfort church members and navigate troubles, new friends and even an unexpected new relationship. Through each new trial, God uses friends and circumstances to teach Jason and Pepper just how powerful His forgiveness, mercy and grace are. Will Jason and Pepper be ready for what's coming? Because trouble lurks like a crouching lion always waiting and searching for revenge...
