Salvation doesn't always take place in church. God's Instant is the story of how two young people deal with the crippling effects of a missing parent and of how a connection with the recent past and exposure to a practical, bedrock faith in God brightens their future. Set in the rugged deserts of southeastern Washington and the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon and against the exciting world of professional rodeo, God's Instant is the story of Jill and Grady. Jill has been hiding from the world in plain sight, and Grady is brooding loner subject to periodic bouts of nearly homicidal rage. They are brought together by an enigmatic older couple possessing a determined faith, and who despite their own tragic past, refuse to live entirely in the present.
