The Two of Us

Bylin (Someone Like You) captures what it means to trust implicitly in God in this tale of rediscovering faith in love after failed relationships. Former detective Jake Tanner arrives in Las Vegas to be best man at his friend Sam’s wedding. Years before, Tanner lost part of his hearing after charging into the house fire that took Sam’s mother’s life. Ever since that day Jake has considered it his responsibility to look after Sam. After a long talk, Jake becomes convinced that Sam’s head and heart are in the right place to go through with the marriage, but bride-to-be Lucy’s older sister Mia is not as confident. Mia, who more or less raised Lucy, is convinced Lucy is too young to marry and is only doing so because she is pregnant. Not to mention that Mia has been through two broken engagements and is determined not to see Lucy get hurt in the same way. But when Jake and Mia meet at a cafe prior to the ceremony, she feels an instant connection and reconsiders her motivations for wanting to call things off. Jake and Mia’s journey toward love and reaffirmation of faith helps them both through past pain to find a deeper understanding of God. This joyous story will speak deeply to the hearts of Christian readers. (Aug.)
