Description
Maggie Stovall appears to have a happy marriage and a settled life, but beneath the surface she is struggling with depression, anxiety, and the secrets of a painful past. When a wounded young girl named Amanda Joy enters her world, Maggie is forced to confront the daughter she gave up years earlier—and the guilt, grief, and fear she has kept hidden from her husband, Ben. As buried truths emerge, this poignant Christian novel explores motherhood, foster care, mental illness, shame, forgiveness, and the difficult path toward honesty and healing. With emotional depth and a strong emphasis on faith, it offers a moving portrait of how love and trust can bring hope to lives marked by suffering.
