The Choice
When Calls the Heart
Before We Were Yours

Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to stories where characters must reckon with how their past shapes their present, especially when faith and forgiveness are part of the reckoning.
You love emotional contemporary fiction that takes a love triangle seriously—not as melodrama, but as a genuine moral and emotional knot to untangle.
You've read Karen Kingsbury before and want that same blend of heartache, hope, and spiritual redemption with stakes that feel real.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots or mysteries over slow-burn emotional character work and introspection.
You're uncomfortable with stories where religion and faith play a central role in how characters resolve their conflicts.
You want your love triangles resolved quickly and cleanly—this book lingers in the mess and asks hard questions about duty, desire, and what we owe to different people.

About this book

Brad Cutler, a 28-year-old advertising executive in New York, is engaged to Laura James and appears to have everything: a successful career, a loving fiancée, and a promising future. His life is disrupted when memories of his high school girlfriend, Emma, resurface and trouble him. Brad and Emma were childhood friends who became a couple in high school before a single decision altered their relationship permanently. Haunted by this past choice and uncertain about his future, Brad seeks forgiveness and redemption through faith. He feels compelled to find Emma and make amends. Brad, Emma, and Laura must each confront the lasting consequences of a teenage decision before any of them can move forward. The story explores themes of lost innocence, forgiveness, healing, redemption, and reconciliation as these three people navigate their complicated connections to one another.
