A place at the table.
Vivian Cole has spent years building a stable life after her younger sister Naomi took family money and disappeared. Naomi returns almost twenty years later without asking for rescue. She has come to repay what she took and ask whether any honest path toward relationship remains.

Scripture and story
Biblical foundation
Luke 15:11 through 32
20 “He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate; 24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
The Inspiration Note considers belonging, resentment and a future beyond past wrongdoing. Mercy retains accountability, restitution and the freedom to maintain boundaries.
