Publisher's Synopsis
PUBLISHED BY PRISM BOOK GROUP Ann's hectic work responsibilities demand all her time and effort, and what was once a useful, satisfactory life has become a burden to carry. Her bakery partner Susan has lost none of her enthusiasm for their business, and Ann can't understand her exuberance, or her friend's Christian faith. So she trudges along, hiding her dissatisfaction from Susan, resigned to a life of work, sleep and problems. Unexpected comments offered by two different people cause a crack in Ann's armor and her thoughts careen into unexpected directions. Attention from a young widower with a son challenges Ann's resolve to stay safe and uninvolved. Susan's example of faith through trial furthers Ann's curiosity about God. Ann must choose to step toward the unfamiliar freedom of giving and receiving love, or stay in the shadows, stuck in the grip of past hurts.
