“He who asks a question is a fool for a minute; he who does not remains a fool forever.”

—Chinese proverb

Drew’s words were still echoing in Delaney’s mind hours later when she was back in her hotel room, Rogue stretched out beside her and a marathon of Will and Grace episodes filling the room with witty banter. She had thought of little else since they had left Timber Ridge and Drew had dropped her off at the hotel. Their exchange at Sasha’s enclosure had been too powerful for her to deny. She could not compartmentalize it or dismiss it.

Something was happening to her. More to the point, something was happening in her. Just a week ago, her life had been on autopilot. Even through her divorce, she had navigated it all with deft precision, managing the details of her legal affairs, work commitments, and friendships admirably. She would not have identified herself as having “issues,” but if someone had asked her if she was happy, she couldn’t truthfully have answered “yes.” Had she ever been truly happy? She realized now that she had been sleep walking through her life—living some kind of a zombie half-life, where she was physically present but emotionally comatose.

Coming back to Georgia had awakened something in her, something she had tried to forget, to bury, and to burn. But like a phoenix rising from the ashes, there were some things that just could not be killed by fire. And her soul was one of them. She shook her head at the irony of everything she had experienced over the last six days. She had come home to a place filled with dark and painful memories and to places she never wanted to set foot in again—like churches, funerals and cemeteries, and Southern porch swings. Yet what she had experienced instead was a series of starkly contrasting alternates. Juxtaposed against the rough and dirty canvas she’d painted in her mind was another portrait entirely.

Where she had dreaded encountering Shady Oaks Community Church and the rather oppressive brand of fundamentalism it espoused, she had found herself at Refresh Station, and suddenly she had a new view of what a community of faith could look like. Her aunt’s funeral, though both dreaded and dreadful, had offered her surprising and deeply touching comfort. And the gentle and beautiful hearts of Claire Sheffield and Drew Hemming had been the most unexpected treasure—both uncommonly good people who were speaking more timely truth into her life than she could ever have imagined she needed. And then there was Sasha. Nothing could have prepared Delaney for the impact that wolf would have on her heart. After hearing about her rehabilitation, Delaney had watched the animal for quite a long time, observing the way she interacted with Drew. Despite the abuse that had been described to her, she could see that Sasha was healthy, thriving, and making progress. She was healing, and Delaney had been deeply inspired by her story.

“If you have the courage to revisit your story…”

Her story.
