Ruth Elizabeth O'Meade, née Jackson, will stop at nothing to make her marriage to the man of her dreams work. She believes they are a match made in Eden. But the bitter fruit of infidelity is threatening to destroy their paradise. The harder she fights to keep him, the more difficult it becomes.
When Ruth Jackson began dating Troy O'Meade, Esquire, it was to the disdain of Troy's overbearing mother, Caroline O'Meade. But Ruth and Troy's love for each other was stronger than Caroline's hatred towards Ruth, so they got married. Unfortunately, as fate would have it, Ruth was unable to have children, and that was a deal breaker for her powerful lawyer husband.
The harder Ruth fights to keep the man she loves, the deeper his mother pushes him into another woman's arms to fulfill his desires, causing Ruth to flee. Blinded by rage from Troy's infidelity, Ruth is rendered temporarily insane, and is involved in a fatal accident.
That tragedy forces love to grow wings and fly. The howling surge of her emotional wind propels her to fly away and land serendipitously into the muscular arms of forever, aka Blake Alexander Walker, a celebrity pastor.
But she is a fugitive in love, bound by the sins of her past, so she runs to God for solace, only to discover that God was a God of love but also a God of Justice. Her sins are sure to find her out, and the raging power of her past returns with a cruel demand...then all hell breaks loose. It seems like even God has forsaken her when the law comes knocking on her front door and her true love goes flying through the back door. But little do her past and present know, that whom God had joined together, come hell or high water, no man or law can put asunder.
