A Portrait without Fear

He betrayed her once. Can she trust him not to do it again? Shannon Conrad loves Kurt Blake. His betrayal didn’t change that. Nothing, it seems, can change that. But Shannon is terrified of getting hurt again. Dating Kurt is too scary. Not even her faith can find a way around her fear. Dating Jesse? Yeah, that’s safe. It still doesn’t change anything, though. Not her fear. Not her love. Kurt is used to Shannon breaking his heart by now, despite his transformed life. Never gets easier, deserved or not. But nothing can prepare his heart for a personal tragedy that changes life as he’s known it. When he needs Shannon the most, she’s not there for him. He has nothing left. Nothing but God. Is that enough? As Shannon’s fears begin to color every aspect of her life, she has a choice to make. Step out in faith, and flourish—or remain captive to fear, and flounder. If she can surrender her fears, it will change everything. For her. For Jesse. For Kurt. That’s a big if.
