Torey’s Prayer 

Torey Mitchell witnessed the cold-blooded murder of a man she didn’t know – and her stepfather, who committed the crime, tries to convince her that what she saw makes her just as guilty as he. Terrified, she runs away – and ends up in the loving home of the recently widowed Mrs. Crawford. The older woman’s love of the Lord prompts Torey to tell the truth about what troubles her so. Simon Crawford is on a mission – to locate and bring to justice his father’s murderer. He finds it more than a little strange that this homeless girl would be spying on his mother only weeks after his father was stabbed. Even stranger is the way Torey has captured his heart. Can both Torey and Simon learn forgiveness through God’s love?
