Award-winning author Mandy Lawrence takes readers on an unforgettable journey into the bittersweet love story of Derek and Abby Holder, a couple caught up in the exciting world of professional football.

Marrying Carolina Panthers wide receiver, Derek Holder, fulfilled Abby’s greatest wish. Their wedding and Italian honeymoon were every bit the fairytale she dreamed they would be. But reality soon hits and takes its toll on the celebrity couple.                      
Abby’s glamorous life begins to unravel when her father is diagnosed with cancer. Faced with the possibility of losing her dad, she lives with the regret of time lost when she was estranged from her family during her college days. Depression sets in, which Abby blames for the distance that has crept into her marriage. Meanwhile, Derek lives with his own regrets, which come back to haunt him both on and off the field. Determined to prove himself to the father who belittled and abandoned him as a child, Derek cannot let the debilitating anxiety and guilt in his personal life—or his chronic knee condition—keep him from succeeding in the NFL.

As the couple’s marriage spirals out of control, their lives become as empty and trashed as a postgame stadium. But Abby’s faithful family knows God can heal not only their marriage but Derek and Abby, too, if only they will trust Him. 

Can Super Bowl-sized dreams still come true? It will take nothing short of a miracle…
