In the sequel to Slave to Grace, Onesimus returns to Philemon, the Master he ran from several years ago. He knows that returning might bring him a branding, a beating, or even death if Philemon chooses one of those options. Even so, the slave understands that, as a recent follower of Yeshua he has no choice but to return to Galatia to make amends to those he wronged.

He hopes that Philemon's faith will lead him to forgive Onesimus and that a certain young woman has waited for his return, but only coming home will bring him the answers he seeks.
