Through it all, Julie’s new dream job turns nightmarish, her teen daughter is struggling, and a handsome neighbor enters her whirlwind life. Is God simply teaching Julie how to avoid making the same mistakes as her mother? Or, is God’s plan bigger than Julie can imagine?​

Deirdre stays home on the farm, living the quiet life of a single girl with few prospects. Their correspondence illustrates the choices that shape a life, and that well-laid plans don’t always work out.
