A story about the love that refuses to quit.
In a hidden valley in the ancient Near East, a young man named Eiran is learning what it costs to love people well. Trained at a forge by a foreman who never wasted a word, shaped by a sister whose hands were calloused and whose heart was vast, Eiran carries into adulthood something rare and increasingly dangerous — the belief that people are worth more than what they can produce.
When a girl named Selah appears in his valley — guarded, too thin, carrying wounds she has never named — and a small boy named Oren arrives at the tree line with a copper fish in his hand and silence where his story should be, Eiran discovers that chesed is not a feeling. It is a series of decisions made in ordinary moments by people who have decided to mean it.
Castle Rock Cove is a cinematic literary novel set three thousand years ago and written for right now. It is the story of what happens when one person decides to love without agenda — and what that love quietly builds in everyone it touches.
For readers of:
A Hidden Life • The Shack • Redeeming Love • The Chosen
Inside this story you will find:
A foreman who speaks entirely in presence and well-placed acts of kindness. A princess who escapes her title one afternoon a year to walk barefoot through a field of lilies. A wooden horseman carved by a child's hands that watches over everyone who is afraid. And a community slowly discovering that the most radical thing a person can do is simply show up — faithfully, honestly, without keeping score.
Castle Rock Cove explores what covenant love looks like in friendship, in leadership, in the workplace, and in the quiet daily decision to treat people as though they matter — because they do.
This is Book One of the Castle Rock Cove Trilogy.
