 Where The Story Begins

Raised to be a 'new woman' by her mother and three college roommates in the 70's amid anti-war protests, feminist rallies, and finals, Rain Rasmussen discovers that putting her career first has left her overdrawn at the egg-bank, and her baby fever has now driven off her significant other. When her terminally ill mother demands a Celebration of Life before she dies; they all confront ghosts from the past on a 'stormy' weekend in Monterey. Bebe, the roommate closest to Rain's heart, revisits choices that have impacted Rain the most, raising doubts about God's—and her own—willingness to forgive and to be forgiven.

David, Xander, and Toria King never know where the mysterious portals in their house will take them: past, present, or future.

They've also seen the stark future that awaits if they can't do something to change it--a destroyed city filled with mutant creatures. And they've still got to find a way to bring Mom back and keep Taksidian from getting them out of the house. The dangers are hitting them like a whirlwind . . . but the answers are becoming apparent as well.

As the two get to know each other better, each begins to gain a new perspective on what the real wealth of Nativity and the season might be.

Or will his secrets destroy the life they built together?
