Publisher Description

Lucy Hansson was ready for a perfect summer with her boyfriend, working at her childhood Bible camp on the lake and spending quality time with her parents. But when her mom's cancer reappears, Lucy falters—in her faith and in her ability to cope.

When her boyfriend "pauses" their relationship and her summer job switches to a different camp—one for troubled kids—Lucy isn't sure how much more she can handle. Attempting to accept a new normal, Lucy slowly regains footing among her vibrant, diverse coworkers, Sundays with her mom, and a crush on a fellow counselor.

But when long-hidden family secrets emerge, can Lucy set aside her problems and discover what grace really means? Emotionally-charged and unforgettable, this story shines with the promise of new love and true friendship, even in the face of life's biggest challenges.
