Sometimes starting over means facing everything you're running from...
Sadie Franklin is all about independence, but when one of her popular parties gets too crazy, her usually uninvolved dad sends her across the country to spend the summer with relatives. Living in smalltown Pecan Creek, Georgia, is culture shock for a girl from Seattle, and it doesn't help that Sadie's aunt and uncle are total church people. Sunday school? No, thanks. Add a houseful of little cousins, an accidental friendship with the preacher's daughter of all people, and the attention of a guy who might actually understand her murky past, and it's enough to cue an identity crisis. When lifealtering news rocks Sadie's world and reveals messy family secrets, she's forced to face the God she's avoided since her mom's death eight years ago. Sadie is surrounded by people who say God loves her and has great plans for her life, but if God is really good, why does He let Sadie's life unravel? Could there really be a purpose in all of this?
