Lost Angel

Faith Wright, granddaughter of the founder of Rejoice, a Christian community in the icy interior of Alaska, has disappeared. And now the elders of Rejoice must look beyond their close-knit village for help.
 
Nik Kane lost his faith long ago—dissolved in a bottle. Once a decorated detective, now an ex-con, he’s desperate for a second chance. Nothing can give him back his career or family, but the search for Faith may restore his soul.
