On Wallins Creek Road stands an abandoned church, untouched for more than a century. Its stone archway is split by a strange, quiet miracle—flowers blooming bright on one side, withered and lifeless on the other. Matthias, born with only the right side of his heart functioning, arrives there after receiving news that shatters the fragile balance of his world. With nowhere else to go, he runs—seeking refuge in the forgotten sanctuary and the stillness it offers.
By chance, he crosses paths with Obi, a gentle soul who drifts through life like a leaf carried by the wind. Within the church’s crumbling walls, the two forge a bond that feels strong enough to weather any storm… even the storm inside Matthias’ chest. Or so they believe. Join best-selling authors C.C. Black and Daniel Elijah Sanderfer for a tender story of unexpected connection, the beauty hidden in fleeting moments, and the courage it takes to live fully—even when time feels uncertain.
