From master storyteller Angela Hunt, a powerful story of a family's
journey toward healing and hope after an unimaginable loss.
Seventeen-year-old Maddie is left reeling after the unexpected passing
of her beloved father. No one has any idea why he betrayed them all so
spectacularly, but that's exactly what his death feels like: a betrayal.
With their world shattered, Maddie's grieving mother sends her to spend
a few months with her grandparents, thinking a change of scenery will do
her good.
Susan and Frank, Maddie's grandparents, are heartbroken over the loss of
their son, but they welcome Maddie as an addition to their long-empty
nest. Maddie settles in and makes friends at her new school, but she
still wrestles with why her father took his own life. Then an unexpected
twist throws all their lives into fresh turmoil, testing the very fabric
of their faith. How Susan helps her granddaughter find hope, even as
they both struggle with grief, makes this touching tale of love and
recovery a must-read.
Contains discussion questions, making it ideal for book groups.
