Laina Strickland is exceedingly exasperated because her husband, Dan, influenced her to abandon her New York City career and jointly purchase a Victorian Cape May bed and breakfast. In the blink of an eye, Dan develops his job description into one related solely to playing golf with their customers, leaving Laina frazzled and overwhelmed with the responsibility of operating their business almost single handedly. 

From New York City to Cape May, New Jersey and extending to Las Vegas, Laina’s story evolves into far greater challenges than this ultra-conservative woman of faith has ever imagined. Can Laina gracefully tap dance around the advances of her Las Vegas cousin’s shameless, womanizing boss, Lawrence, even when their lives are in danger? 

Discovering that attempting to walk through life on the narrow road does not exempt us from being exposed to a variety of trying situations, Laina must decide quickly how to survive, both physically and spiritually.
