Summertime Sprinkler (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985590319)

What do you do when the past moves in next door?

For twenty years, Beth Bender has lived with a secret ache she can't silence. A drunk-driving accident caused by her abusive husband killed two men and shattered a family, including a little boy who once played in her backyard. Beth survived, but guilt became her constant companion.

Now, that boy is grown.

When Hudson Hinkle returns to their small Texas town and moves into the house behind Beth's, the carefully guarded life she's built begins to unravel. Hudson's anger is raw, his presence unavoidable, and the past Beth tried to bury refuses to stay buried.

By day, Beth is a source of comfort, hosting a late-night radio show that offers hope and scripture to hurting listeners. By night, fear, regret, and unresolved trauma threaten to drown her. As tensions rise and old wounds reopen, Beth must confront the truth about her marriage, her misplaced guilt, and what forgiveness really costs.

Summertime Sprinkler is a deeply emotional Christian novel about abuse survival, grief, and the long road to healing. It's a story for anyone who has ever carried shame that wasn't theirs, wrestled with forgiveness, or wondered if it's ever truly possible to start again.
