Some books tell a story. This one speaks life.
LilyBeth is barely holding on, patching together a future in Hilltop, Montana, while the past refuses to loosen its grip. She’s spent years standing alone, convinced that’s just the way life works. But then she meets folks who don’t see her as a project to fix—just a person worth knowing. People like Barrett, a man who doesn’t throw around words but lives God’s way.
And Etta Mae, the kind of woman who delivers truth straight up, no sugarcoating: "Did you know that your worth is of such value that Jesus died for you?"
That kind of love? It wrecks a person in the best way.
This isn’t a feel-good, surface-level story. It’s about scraping through the mess, the doubt, the ache of wondering if you’re too much or not enough—and coming face-to-face with a God who never let go. The faith here isn’t just written on the page; it’s raw, real, and lived. The courage? It’s the kind that stands back up, no matter how hard life hits.
If you love Christian fiction that digs deep, that sees the hard stuff but never lets go of hope, this one is for you. This book will become a piece of your heart that stays tucked in, reshaping the way you see grace, love, and the power of choice. And if you haven’t read a Penny Zeller book yet, you’re missing out—because few can take real-life faith and breathe it into fiction quite like this.
Hard-fought hope. Relentless grace. A Savior who never stops pursuing.
This book? It’s a quilt of emotions, a patchwork of truth, love, and faith sewn together beautifully.
