Love Remains

Some grief never leaves, but can it transform lives?

Set against the backdrop of a real-life Texas-based maternity home, this debut novel by Terry Tamashiro Harris follows the protagonist Elle Anders, along with an authentic and relatable cast of characters that will connect to your heart.

Fleeing a painful past, Elle commits to serving at the crisis pregnancy home in hopes that focusing on a greater purpose will restore her mental health and emotional stability. But between a rigid boss, a saccharine volunteer, and a house full of women with issues far more reaching than she had imagined, Elle is forced to confront her past.

Will she have the courage to face her deepest pain?

Join Elle in this journey to discover true healing and true life in this transformative place called Mercy House.
