Katie Mitchell's life shatters in an afternoon- her house half-destroyed by fire, belongings lost, and her son's car reduced to ash. But the flames are just the spark of deeper trials. As investigators suspect arson, a cruel newspaper article ignites accusations, and vandals target their property, Katie and husband Alex face suspicion of fraud. Still reeling from son James's near-fatal accident, Katie grapples with guilt, worry, and her mother's worsening Alzheimer's. Yet their tight-knit church community rallies with fundraisers, housing, and unwavering support, teaching Katie to trust God's refining fire amid the chaos. From the ashes, grace blooms in unexpected ways- reminding us that faith, family, and friendship can rebuild what seems irreparably broken. Scorched Dreams is a clean, closed-door contemporary Christian novel of redemption, resilience, and the promise that God works all things for good, even in the hardest seasons. Perfect for fans of Karen Kingsbury, Francine Rivers, and Lisa Wingate's The Prayer Box.
