In Volume I of Intents of the Heart, "the stage is set for jaw-grinding moments as the reader watches Lauren start down the same path of abuse that her father created." (Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle Book Review). Now, Lauren must again deal with the demons of her youth as she strives to raise her family in a Christian home of faith and obedience. Many challenges face her-untimely death, the reappearance of her abusive father and weak mother, a rebellious teenager, and even an act of violence that will forever change the lives of the Mitchell family.
