After the death of their father, Collette and Jean-Michel Langelier are no longer tied to post-war France. While his sister dreams of adventure, Jean-Michel is hoping to finally escape reminders of the horrors he faced in the war. When Jean-Michel receives an unexpected invitation for them to visit Alaska and the Curry Hotel, it seems an opportunity for a change he needs. Katherine Demarchis is a young widow who does not grieve the dangerous husband she was forced to marry. Now she just wants to retreat to a quiet life, content to be alone. First, though, she's agreed to accompany her grandmother on a final trip, but never expects to see a man from her past. Katherine and Jean-Michel once shared a deep love that was torn apart by forces beyond their control. Reunited now, have the years changed them too deeply to rediscover what they had? And when Jean-Michel's nightmares return with terrifying consequences, will faith be enough to heal what's been broken for so long?
Out of the Ashes has such a shocking out of the sky, blasting, pounding with your heart beat beginning, your heart is stunned and broken, then it is immediately contrasted with heartbreak, but then you have two peoples stories - Jean -Michel's and Katherine's. Poor Jean-Michel goes through something so very traumatic - something I never want to ever go through but something - I am sad to say - exactly that so many are going through today that he went through in 1925. Now Katherine - she went through something that many people have gone through - but I am sorry they have gone through it - After all that they visit Alaska - while there Katherine sees someone - a man - from her past and Jean-Michel sees someone from his nightmares - Can he handle it? Well with GOD all things are possible because you can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you - so ...........what will happen to them both when their pasts catch up to them?
