This powerful novel dealing with real-life issues of faith and family will appeal to both adult and teen readers of contemporary women's fiction. In particular, readers of Nancy Rue's previous best-selling works will be drawn to this book, as will mothers of young readers familiar with her work through the Lily series for teenage girls. Those interested in realistic portrayals of the mother-daughter relationship and the often-hidden struggles of marriage will be moved by the compelling honesty of this novel.

She thought they had the perfect family...

For eighteen years Serena Soltanis has poured herself into her family, making every effort to please her husband and to protect her daughters from the evils of the world. Respected and admired for her obvious parenting success, she leads a popular mothers' group at her church, passing along wisdom gained through years of experience.

until she woke up in a mother's worst nightmare.

Then the unthinkable happens. Sixteen-year-old Tristan, the quiet ""good girl"" of the family, disappears-and the search brings to light unpleasant truths that prompt Serena to question nearly everything she believes about her children, her marriage, and her faith.

""Where did we go wrong?""

Brokenhearted by her daughter's behavior and her husband's angry response, Serena struggles to see God's hand of grace in their lives. Initially determined to rescue Tristan from whatever trouble she's in, Serena learns the painful lesson that true strength won't be found in regaining control of her daughter's choices but in finally learning when to let go.
