Waters Fall — Becky Doughty

The anatomy of an affair. The price of forgiveness. The beauty of grace. Jake doesn't remember what it means to be a champion. Nora doesn't know how much longer she can tread water before she goes under. Their fairytale marriage is hurtling toward a tragic end. Jake and Nora scramble to hold it all together, but hairline cracks of disillusionment and despair have been spreading, weakening the foundation beneath them. Jake steps up, but in all the wrong ways. Nora withdraws from her husband, from her friends, and from her God. Then Tristan sweeps in -- all feelings and fire and freedom -- the disarming artist who wants to capture more than just her image on canvas. Nora is carried out to where the waters run dark and deep. And she knows she's risking far more than just her heart…. When it all comes crashing down, Jake and Nora are left standing amidst the ruins of everything they've built together. Will they walk away, or stay and fight for their happily-ever-after?
