A novella by Quinlan Motley
FAITH
A Woman's Pregnancy Journey
An unexpected dinner gives Hannah a reason to set the table again.
After years of pregnancy loss, Hannah has grown used to a quiet house. A neighbor's broken oven brings an unexpected dinner to her table, and with it the beginnings of friendship, laughter, and a life that can hold both grief and joy.
Inside the story
Room for other people.
Room for joy.
Hannah once loved having people around her table. After three pregnancy losses, she has learned to keep the house quiet and her hopes to herself.
Then a neighbor arrives with an empty roasting pan and a broken oven. One imperfect Sunday dinner becomes another. Around Hannah's table gather people with their own unfinished lives: a widower learning to cook for one, a young mother trying to find room for her work, and an older friend who never brings just one dish.
Their company does not make everything easy. Hannah can offer a meal more readily than she can accept help, and a careless exchange threatens a friendship she has come to need. As she learns to make room for other people, she begins to discover moments of joy she had stopped expecting.
Set in Bellevue, Idaho, FAITH is a warm, quietly moving novella about pregnancy after loss, friendship, and the courage to let yourself be cared for. Inspired by the biblical Hannah, it follows an original modern woman's life with humor, tenderness, and room for uncertainty.
