This book takes the reader on a journey with a cabin and a creek. Its characters and story are imaginary, but everything else in it is real. The cabin wasn't much (it had no electricity, indoor plumbing, or phone service) and the creek was small (mostly a few inches in depth and a few feet in width), but they brought various people together who would not have met otherwise. This is their story, woven together, much like God does with our life stories. They all share experiences of love and loss, but also the hope that comes from knowing the One who gives us life and the cabin at Kettle Creek. He is still on His throne, offering the good news of healing and wholeness to a broken world. It doesn't get any better than that, for the characters in the book and for us.
