He has a plan. She has a map. God has a different destination.Cartographer Mara Ellison arrived at the annual Global Missions Conference with a simple goal: update a few field maps, keep her head down, and slip back to her ordinary life. She didn’t plan on a prayer in a crowded auditorium reawakening a calling she thought she had buried forever. Now, her heart is set on Kalimba, a coastal region rebuilding after a devastating flood. She is ready to serve, if only she can believe she is worthy of the call.There is just one problem. Someone else is already holding the map.Nate Kincaid doesn’t operate on feelings; he operates on logistics. Efficient, protective, and driven by a need to prove himself, Nate has spent years preparing to deploy to Kalimba. He has a clean timeline, a tight budget, and a distinct lack of patience for variables he can’t control. When Mara’s experience and passion point her toward the exact same role he is pursuing, his carefully arranged future is suddenly at risk.With funding tight and only one spot available on the deployment team, a shared calling turns into a reluctant rivalry. Yet, as late-night planning sessions turn into honest conversations, the friction between them sparks an undeniable connection. Mara sees the weariness behind Nate’s strength, and Nate begins to trust Mara’s quiet wisdom.But when a sudden funding crisis threatens the entire project, Mara and Nate are forced to make a choice that will cost them everything they thought they wanted.In a story of surrendered plans, brave love, and faith that moves beyond the conference walls, When the Map Leads Home asks the question both hearts must answer: will they cling to control, or trust the Author who writes better plans than we do?
