A Contemporary Christian Fiction Novel

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A Crossroads of Mercy Novel

Roman Matthews built a life most people only dream of—corner office, tailored suits, and a reputation as one of the top attorneys in New York City. But when his estranged father dies, Roman is forced to return to the small Southern town he abandoned years ago… along with the woman he left behind.

Adria Turner has spent years stitching her heart back together through faith, music, and teaching. When Roman shows up at his father’s funeral, the pain resurfaces—but so does something she thought was long buried: compassion.

As Roman navigates grief, guilt, and the ghosts of his past, he finds himself drawn to the quiet strength of a church community that welcomes him with unexpected grace. But it's not until he faces the truth about who he’s become—and who God always intended him to be—that real change begins.

This is a story of broken pride, healing love, and fierce redemption—a modern retelling of the prodigal son with a heart rooted in grace.

Sometimes the road home is the hardest to take…but it leads to the only place that matters.
