Until I Knew You
4.21.26
Tragedy brought them together. A promise binds them. But will grief be more than they can bear?
Photographer Jacob Michaels has spent his life running from the foster homes that failed him, from emotional attachment, from anything that asks more of him than a temporary moment through his camera lens. Except for Clay Logan, his one true friend. The only person who ever saw past the walls.
Olivia Logan lives in a world of color and quiet, expressing through art what words cannot. Clay understood her without explanation, offering a steady presence in a world that often feels overwhelming.
But when a hiking trip ends in tragedy and Jacob returns alone, everything changes. And Clay’s final request becomes Jacob’s new unwelcome reality:
Take care of Olivia. Protect her. Don’t walk away.
Now named her legal trustee, Jacob steps into a life he never intended.
Forced into shared grief and bound by a promise neither asked for, Jacob and Olivia are pulled into a fragile, unexpected closeness, one that stirs old wounds, mirrors hidden childhood scars, and gently hints that perhaps God is not finished with either of them yet.
A tender, emotionally rich story of loss, healing, and trust rebuilt, where wounds are redeemed, love arrives unexpectedly, and God mends what was never meant to be broken.
