Sunbeams from Heaven (Paperback)

Calise Collins came from nothing; surely she won't end up with nothing. Could fate really be that cruel? Introverted Calise spent the bulk of her childhood deeply embedded in the shadow of her older cousin Samantha. Overcoming horrible hardships and disappointment, Calise floats through life excepting only what's dealt to her, never having the courage to dig in the deck for a better hand. This all changes when turning the other cheek is no longer an option. Tapping deep into her strength reserve, Calise breaks free and begins her quest to make her mark in this world. As with anything in life, this will come with determination, perseverance, and the will to shake off all that has kept her down. Armored with the memories of her parents and shielded by the lessons learned from her grandmother, Calise goes after the one thing that is still out of reach--a truly reciprocated and unconditional love.
