Emily

ebook

Austin has only thought of Emily as the kid sister of his best friend. But Emily has other ideas. While Austin is on his mission, his parents are planning the rest of his life, and those plans don't include Emily. Then in one brief accident, Emily's hope for a promising communications career and a temple marriage turn into excruciating pain. In this moving Jack Weyland story, Emily's dreams are dashed when she's severely burned. After months of enduring skin grafts, debridement, and a painful recovery at a burn center, Emily returns to college labeled as 'disabled and disfugured.' With her self-esteem riddled by the strange looks, insensitive comments, and callous behavior directed at her, Emily is devastated emotionally as well as physically scarred. The Savior's help and healing, an understanding bishop, and others help her to endure. Emily loses herself in the service of others and finds a rejuvenated spirit in the process. But when Austin returns from his mission, she wonders if he will see that rejuvenated spirit or just a reconstructed face? Jack Weyland tells a moving love story that illustrates what it takes to overcome adversity, to grow spiritually, and to reclaim your dreams.
