About the Book
Title: Right Before Their Eyes
Series: Faith Endures #2
Author: Carrie Walker
Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink
Release Date: February 5, 2025
Genre: Romantic Women's Fiction
Sometimes the love you need most looks different than you imagined.
Clare Martin thought nothing of agreeing to live with her dementia-ridden grandmother when her parents left on mission. Balancing that with her job as a social worker and the expectations of her career-driven boyfriend proved doable—until Grandma started a house fire.
Mason Hughes has loved Clare for years, but the time was never right to tell her and now she’s dating someone else, fixing Mason firmly in the friend zone. He’s working to be a pediatric neurologist, a dream inspired by a special boy with a terminal brain condition and must choose a medical school. Finances are so tight he’s forced to consider a program across the country, a troubling fact he’s kept secret.
Lucia Roberts, a seventeen-year-old on Clare’s caseload, loses her foster home and is placed in an unwelcoming group home. At every turn she’s met with rejection and becomes desperate for any proof she has value—enough to make choices that could affect the rest of her life.
When Grandma Dottie and Lucia's paths take a dangerous turn, Clare frantically tries to save them. As their lives knit together, will they find the love that’s right before their eyes?

Interview with Author Carrie Walker
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Sure :) I’m a mom of 7 who married my high school sweetheart almost 25 years ago. We live in Michigan and have always lead a very busy, fulfilling life. I call myself a “complicated introvert.” I love people and so enjoy having meaningful conversations, but put me in a new crowd and I’ll hide by the wall I promise you!
What do you do besides writing?
Currently, my husband and I have dusted off our youth ministry hats (we served as high school youth ministers for the first ten years of our marriage) and are helping as adult leaders in our daughter’s group. So wonderful! We love playing board games, have a pet Lab, and enjoy pickleball as well.
What was your favorite part of researching for this book?
I really enjoyed the research into the lives of kids in the foster care system (though some of the things I learned made me sad, I learned so, so much.).
How do you find visual inspiration for your characters?
I do this in different ways. Pictures is definitely one way. I’ll scroll through images of people in the right age range to find an image that looks like the character I’m envisioning. At least once in every book I have a generous friend or family member that volunteers to let me borrow their personality and looks for a character (There is one in this book too, hint. hint.). That’s always fun, since I know that person well and it’s very easy to envision their character. Sometimes I’ll tell another person about the story I’m working on and the type of character I’m trying to figure out and I can just see a light go off in their mind with ideas and when they share it gets me rolling to develop the rest.
What are some songs that you listened to or inspired you while writing your book?
“Living Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran. When the book started, I knew Clare and Mason needed a song. I went through so many, and the lyrics to this one just told their story in so many ways that I would often listen to it to get into the mindset for the characters before writing a scene.
What message would you like readers to ultimately take away from the book?
That God is always working, even if you can’t see Him, even if you’re looking and still can’t see Him. And when the moment comes that He reveals what’ He’s done in your life, you will look back on the journey and see Him in every step of it.
What can we look forward to coming from you in the future?
The third book in this series releases in the spring of 2026. That will be the conclusion to this three-book series and features Lucia as a lead character, Mason as he’s an adult and another new character. And you’ll be able to see how little Theo, is still changing the world, even years later.
