The Remedy for Regret

Harvest House, 2005

Tess Longren is 28, single and at a crossroads in her life. She finally has a job she enjoys as and a proposal of marriage from a man she loves, but Tess is unable to grasp a future that shimmers with hope. Her mother's long-ago death is a constant, though subtle ache that Tess cannot seem to move past. Coupled with this is an inordinate sense of sadness for the regrets of others, including the remorse of a childhood friend, Blair Devere Holbrook. When Blair asks Tess to accompany her to their childhood home to resolve a situation left unsettled fifteen years ago, Tess falsely imagines that by helping her friend find peace, she will find contentment for herself. The Remedy for Regret is about finding the courage to change a painful situation but it is also about the courage to bear what cannot be changed. It is about understanding both the limitations of an imperfect world as well as the vast resources of a perfect God.
