Born without thumbs, sixteen-year-old Raine has learned to navigate a world that stares, whispers, and sometimes mocks. But at least her grandparents’ cozy diner, where she works as a waitress, offers a small amount of refuge from prying eyes.

Until an angry teen boy arrives during the worst snowstorm of the year.

With a black eye, a split lip, and snow-laden clothing, the young stranger looks like he just lost a prizefighting championship match, then walked a mile in the blizzard. And Raine isn’t convinced he doesn’t have plans to rob her before the night is over. But he’s here at the diner—her sanctuary—and she has no choice but to serve him with a smile and pray that this hostile intruder moves on before he notices her strange hands.

So the last thing she needs is to feel God nudging her to share a verse from the Bible lying open on the counter.
