And Jayson couldn't deny that for all the grief and heartache he was taking with him . . . his musical abilities had grown through the experiences he'd found in Oregon, and his heart had been touched in ways that had changed him forever.

A Distant Thunder — Jayson sighed. “I miss the naiveté of youth. I miss making music in the basement and eating your father’s cooking . . . playing my music and being with the people I loved.” Elizabeth couldn’t hide the fact that she was a little choked up when she said, “I echo that . . . And I miss the rain.” Following long moments of quiet, Jayson said, “Rain is . . . just rain . . . and no matter where I go, it’s always raining in my heart.” After battling personal, professional, and financial setbacks, it looks as though Jayson finally has it all — fame, fortune, and a great family. However, he learns how swiftly a rising star can become extinguished. The problem was that Jayson actually had no life left at all. He had no career, no daughter or mother who needed him. His brother was busy with a flourishing career, and Elizabeth had her family. Just when he reaches an irreversible crisis point in his life, God’s arms reach out to protect Jayson from his own worst impulses. But the road to healing can be arduous and elusive.

He turned and walked away, feeling as if he were about to literally descend into the depths of hell. And nobody could spare him from the inevitable consequences of the choices he’d made to bring himself to this point. Not even God could do that.With all the pain and loss he has suffered over the last twenty years, does Jayson have the courage to trust the healing power of the Atonement?

He reminded himself that Elizabeth had married him — twenty years later, and Macy had come home. He’d found peace over the deaths of his loved ones . . . but right now, the path to finding such peace felt impossible to traverse. But why? This wasn’t a death or a tragedy.
