Some hearts don't break all at once. They crack quietly — current by current — until the woman holding them together can no longer tell which version of her life is real.
Lieanna is twenty-four, married, and living inside a silence she doesn't yet have words for. From the outside, the life she and Sejir have built looks like everything anyone could want. From the inside, something is slowly coming apart — and she doesn't know if faith, patience, or love alone can hold it together.
But to understand the night that finally breaks it open, she has to travel further back than she's ready to go.
Back to a wedding that never happened. A morning that rewrote everything. A love she buried — but never stopped carrying close to her heart.
And in the years before all of this, a man who built his entire life on being impressive rather than being known finds himself quietly undone by a woman who asks for nothing and gives him the one thing he never knew he was missing.
Alternate Currents moves between two timelines and one question that refuses to stay silent: what do you do with a love that God allowed you to lose — and a faith that has to be large enough to hold both the gift and the grief?
This is Christian fiction for readers who want their romance honest, their faith real, and their stories brave enough to sit inside the hard questions without flinching. It is a novel about marriage and its hidden fractures, about grief that doesn't announce itself, about the God who is close to the brokenhearted — especially when they can't feel Him yet.
Beautifully written and deeply moving, Alternate Currents is Book Three of the My Chérie series by Cyrene Immanuel — a Christian fiction romance and suspense series following Lieanna across the years, the losses, and the loves that make her who she is.
Lieanna's story is not finished.
Neither is God's.
"The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? 'I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind.'" — Jeremiah 17:9–10
Cyrene Immanuel is a pen name of a Christian fiction author whose stories weave romance, suspense, and coming-of-age struggle through the lens of unwavering faith. Writing under the conviction that every story — however broken its middle chapters — can be redeemed by grace, Cyrene crafts novels for readers who want their fiction to be honest about pain and even more honest about hope.
Cyrene lives by the belief that every obstacle a character faces deserves a resolution rooted in Scripture — because the same is true for every reader.
