When Barnabas Carey heads on a mission to find the lady that he had loved in university, kept in touch with and then lost track of, little does he suspect that he will find that the beautiful Aubrey Dorsett would have been kept captive by a so-called guardian for ten years. Rescuing her and then marrying her, they set off on an adventure that will test their love for one another and their love for God.
Twists and turns send the two fleeing across Ontario before heading for the Barnabas Foundation. Even there, neither are safe. Injured in an attempted abduction, Aubrey struggles to heal. Beaten and left in the elements, Barnabas battles hypothermia.
The answer as to who is really after them stuns them and their friends, drawing in Barnabas' father and mother. Will they solve the mystery and survive?
Their love for one another grows stronger. With Barnabas' help, Aubrey learns to live in freedom once more. And they both realize that they have come to trust God in a whole new way.
