If checking off lists were all it took, Elle Reed could keep her life from crumbling around her. But her husband betrays her trust, her best friend’s recent diagnosis reveals a hidden trauma, and a secret Elle has been keeping from her mother has wrecked their Gilmore Girls-esque relationship.

Her career may be the one thing she has control over, and she holds it tightly with both hands.

Then she gets a call she never expects—her mother has passed away suddenly, taking any hope of reconciliation with her. Discovering Catherine’s collection of devotional journals while packing up her home provides an opportunity to glean the wisdom she so desperately misses.

But the journals reveal that her mother had secrets of her own, leaving Elle wondering if anyone in her life is who they say.

When an upheaval at work rips away the only stability Elle has left, she has to face her biggest fear.

What will it take for her to surrender control to The One who’s had it all along?

Set against the glisten and glamour of Nashville’s music scene, the stories of four unique women intersect as they face tragedy, trauma, and difficult circumstances that will test, renew, or forge their faith.

Will God bring good out of their suffering? In place of the thornbush, can junipers grow?
