Diabetes stole Nathan Carter's wife. Now, it's coming for his daughter.

 

Every day, Nathan fights back with insulin doses, blood sugar charts, and midnight alarms. Control is the only thing keeping fear at bay. But when his daughter's body stops responding and his best efforts fail, Nathan must confront what he's avoided since his wife died—the possibility that healing requires more than medicine.

 

Grace Thompson's life is unraveling. Lupus has stolen her stamina, her dance studio, her income. Even as her body rebels and bills pile up, she clings to movement, purpose, and dignity. In a sterile hospital waiting room, she crosses paths with a weary father and his sick daughter. In their quiet desperation, Grace sees a mirror of her own fight—the aching hope that some pain wasn't meant to be carried alone.

​

When Grace and Nathan's lives collide and medical science reaches its limits, they must wrestle with what they truly believe about faith and letting go. They discover that sometimes the deepest healing begins not with treatments, but with surrender.

 

In this powerful retelling of the biblical accounts of Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood, Desperate Souls explores how hopelessness can drive us beyond what we thought possible—into the arms of a grace we never saw coming.
