Over the years, Ariana and Jean-Marc Perrault have endured many challenges and experienced great joy while raising their six children in the gospel. Now as their three daughters mature into adults, they must watch the young women struggle with their own heartaches and choices: 
Josette Beautiful, willful Josette Perrault has a passion for life and a desire to enjoy herself. Yet the glitter and the whirl of her social life does little to satisfy the needs of her heart. She doubts she will ever find someone who will think of her as more than just a beautiful face—until a tragedy helps her understand what it is that keeps her from finding true love. 
Marie-Thérèse Marie-Thérèse has a sensible head on her shoulders. Unlike her sister, Josette, she has always known exactly what she wants from life—college, a mission, and then a temple marriage and children. But sometimes love comes along when least expected. Now she has to make a choice—will it be the right one? 
Pauline At last Pauline has found her first and true love, Emeri Fauré. But she was born HIV-positive, and, after sixteen years of miracles, has become seriously ill. How can her family bear to let her go? Worse, how can she make Emeri see past his bitterness long enough to understand that only the gospel holds the key to their future? 
Join the Perrault family as together they face life’s darkest moments and its sweetest joys. Best-selling author Rachel Ann Nunes masterfully brings us A Glimpse of Eternity.

Ariana: A Glimpse of Eternity

You think it’s never going to happen to you. I know because that’s how I was—untouchable. Bad things only happen to someone else. Or if something bad actually did happen, it was always something the doctor could fix with fiberglass or a pill. That’s the way it was with my family—at least until the year I turned thirteen. 
When their young daughter, Kristin, is kidnapped, Gary and Angie Marshall struggle to make sense of the unthinkable. Who could do such a thing? And why Kristin? As more time passes in their desperate search for their daughter, their hopes slowly dwindle. They are left with "if onlys" and a glaring uncertainty that damages their marriage and their relationships with their other children, especially their oldest daughter, Meghan. 
Meanwhile, Kristin is having new experiences of her own. Her first assignment in her new "life" is to heal the hearts of her family. But doing so turns out to be more of a challenge than she ever expected. How can she get them to let her go so they can all find happiness? Or can there ever be healing after such a devastating trial? 
Looming above them all is the question—who is responsible for Kristin’s disappearance? Is it their beloved uncle? Their neighbor Dale Loveridge, who once dated Angie Marshall? Or is it Jay, the young man with a colorful past? Or perhaps someone else entirely? 
Time is running out. As she blames herself for Kristin’s disappearance, Meghan turns down a road that can only lead to more unhappiness. Kristin must find a way to help her sister find healing—and perhaps love. 
Rachel Ann Nunes has taken a difficult subject and woven intrigue, romance, and joy to create a story with realistic characters who will live in your mind for years to come.
