Fate's Blessing

Seventeen-year-old Mikey Jacobson is angry at the world—and at God. After losing his girlfriend, Brielle, to cancer, he spirals into self-destruction, drowning his grief in rebellion and rage. But when a judge sentences him to community service at a faith-based nonprofit, he meets Felisa Maysonet—a witty, wheelchair-bound girl with cerebral palsy and a joy that defies her circumstances.

Felisa isn’t afraid of Mikey’s temper or his scars. She challenges him, teases him, and dares him to hope again. What starts as reluctant friendship becomes a lifeline, pulling Mikey from the darkness as he faces his past, his faith, and a future he never imagined. But when Felisa’s own health takes a dangerous turn, Mikey is forced to confront the hardest question of all: Can he trust God—even when life hurts?
