Tina, a successful businesswoman, great friend, ideal daughter, and the epitome of what a mother should be. But when it came to her love life, she was guarded, based on her past experiences. Determined to be a lady, and never experiencing the fruits of being a woman. As a child and throughout her young and adult life, Tina was the victim of various abuses. Attempting to bury them in her subconscious, she never solicited the help of a therapist. According to her, therapy was a waste of time, when she could manage her own life. Based on her unresolved issues, Tina was not equipped to handle love, or a loving relationship so when love pursued her, she produced all types of excuses as to why they would not work. Knowing the devastation of how one's past can predict their future, there was one man that decided that he would not give up until Tina faced her demons and see him as an equal. But will Tina give in to his persistence and declaration of his love for her, or will she continue to put up barriers and be guided by her past, and their age differences.

Many people are dealing with the issues of some type of pain. Some pains are physical, some are psychological, and some are spiritual. No matter what type of pain you are confronting, this book describes different ways of looking at pain through one woman by the name of Grace Hill's Christian beliefs. Often, we put so much effort into minimizing or alleviating our pain that we fail to see the relevancy of it. One might question that there is nothing beautiful about pain, and they would be absolutely right, but this book talks about beauty as a result of pain or painful situations. One might also say that there's no purpose to pain, and that is where we would disagree. After reading this book, my desire is that you view pain and suffering in a whole different light. I pray that you will be able to identify with the characters, and find your own purpose, while rejoicing in your pain knowing that beauty lies at the end of it like hidden treasure. Grace would tell you to discover your own purpose and rejoice in your revelation.
