"As a single
mother, Maddy Walker's life has been anything but easy, yet despite her pain and
loss, she has committed her life to loving and serving others. Throughout the
story, Maddy's faith is stretched as God teaches her how to love, enabling her
to touch the lives of many people in her community. When Maddy discovers that
she has an inoperable brain aneurysm, she is tempted to withdraw, uncertain she
has anything left to give. Her only prayer is to live long enough to see her
daughter married and know she is taken care of. But God is not finished with
Maddy.
When Isobelle Davis moves to town, God prompts Maddy
to befriend her. Thrown into the midst of unwelcome change, Isobelle is
struggling with feelings of anger and discontentment. Yet God uses what Isobelle
views as a negative circumstance to provide an answer to Maddy's prayer. In the
process, Isobelle's attitude is transformed and she gains new perspective as she
is able to see how God's hand was orchestrating it all."
