Jill was the perfect mother. Tessa was the perfect student. At least until Toby came along, that is.
Forty-something pastor’s wife Jill and seventeen-year-old head cheerleader Tessa have more in common than they’d care to admit. Craving the acceptance they didn’t find in their mothers, they seek validation elsewhere—Jill through her flawless parenting and Tessa through her unmatched popularity. Both are putting on the show of a lifetime, too, out to prove to a watching world that life is playing out according to their perfectly manicured plans.
And then Jill’s son, Toby, enters both their lives, cracking their carefully constructed facades. When a single impulsive mistake plunges Tessa and Jill into a scandal that threatens to tear apart the church Jill has sacrificed her entire life to support—and with every eye in the congregation fixed squarely on them—Jill and Tessa are forced to confront the questions they’ve long avoided. Is Tessa’s image worth losing the chance at something real with someone who truly cares about her? And is Jill willing to surrender her tight grip on Toby so God can do the work He needs to do in his heart?
In this emotionally charged pro-life novel, follow Jill and Tessa as they navigate the wreckage of their plans and discover a faith that can weather any storm.

Is Molly willing to cross the one line she swore she never would to put her shattered life back together again?
Molly Taylor’s never had a problem trusting God, and she’s got Tanner Walters to thank for that. Best friends since kindergarten, Tanner’s faithfully walked by her side through all life’s ups and downs. And he’s been biding his time, too, waiting for just the right moment to ask Molly to take the next big step with him.
Dating.
Before he can make his move, though, Jason Moore returns to town, stealing Molly’s heart—and Tanner’s chances. As their relationship blossoms, so do Tanner’s fears. There’s just something about Jason that doesn’t sit right with him.
He’s dangerous.
Something Molly doesn’t realize until after he derails her life in a single night.
Ashamed, Molly buries the truth of what happened that night and does her best to get her life back on track—with Tanner this time. As she slowly begins to heal, one final, stinging betrayal ushers in a new realization for Molly.
That healing from what Jason did to her isn’t possible, especially not at the hands of a God who didn’t protect her from him in the first place. So, she sets off in search of healing apart from Him.
What will it take for Molly to turn around and face her darkness—and the God who’s followed her into that darkness, beckoning her out?

In God.

Devastated he didn’t wait for her during her lost years, Molly throws herself into her continued healing, determined to move on with someone new. But as she watches her family and friends find their happily-ever-afters around her, Molly can’t help but wonder if her past mistakes disqualify her from finding her own.
Until Tyler Sanderson comes knocking on her door.
Cautiously optimistic that happily-ever-after is possible, Molly begins writing the next chapter of her life, forgetting one crucial detail.

God is.
And when it becomes clear He’s writing a very different story than the one Molly has in mind, suddenly she’s not so sure she can follow Him wherever it is He’s leading her.

Fulfilled and finally on board with God’s version of her happily-ever-after, Molly is knocked to her knees when sudden tragedy strikes. Just when she thinks things couldn’t possibly get any worse, Molly receives a phone call from the one person she banked on never seeing or hearing from again—Jason Moore. And while jarring, it reminds Molly that she isn’t the one to blame for all she’s been through over the years.
Jason is.
And there’s no way she can forgive him like he asks her to.
Can Molly do this impossible task God is asking of her, or will she let her anger enclose her in a prison of bitterness?
