If I Run (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781664254992)

Gabby has experienced a lot of loss in her young life-and the impact has been great. By the time she returns to Asheville, she just wants to live simply and move ahead with her life. With her cousin Devin and her best friend Emily by her side, she safely tucks away her memories of a troubled past along with her feelings, seeing no reason to look back. But when a dark-eyed, handsome stranger unexpectedly shows up in town and plants himself in the center of her life, Gabby finds herself unsettled by the man's charm and attention. Luca stirs in her feelings of such intense anger and frustration-and a spark that threatens to intensify, engulfing her heart in flames. When those safely hidden memories of her past come rushing forth-along with the fears-Gabby faces a battle more fierce than anything that she's ever experienced. Will she finally be able to confront the past with all its pain and learn to really trust God? Will she be able to find true peace-and possibly love-again?
