From the acclaimed author of When We Collided comes a vibrant, compelling story of love, loss, faith, and friendship.
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, Emery Lord's storytelling shines with the promise of new love and true friendship, even in the face of life's biggest challenges.

And under the dreaming tree, I see a girl who can be okay and not okay all at once. So, I guess I’m just grateful to be here for all of it, for the mess and the ache and the unknowing.

After all, once there was a girl named Lucy who loved her family, old and new.

It is not the type of love that ends.

If I’m going to believe, it has to be in a God who would forgive my father for this word.

I have to believe in a God who knows how much my father loves my mother.

I have to believe in a God who would sit beside my father in that car, place His hand on my father’s back.

And maybe it took me until now—until this horrible moment—to realize, but I do.

I believe in nature, in science, in jazz, in dancing.

And I believe in people. In their resilience, in their goodness.

This is my credo; this is my hymn. Maybe it’s not enough for heaven, and maybe I’m even wrong. But if I can walk through the fire and, with blistered skin, still have faith in better days? I have to believe that’s good enough.

Because I’m me, and I’m trying, and I have a family of friends who wrap around me like clouds. Because there are surely other names for grace, and mine are Mom, Dad. Rachel. Henry. Anna. Keely. Mohan. Rhea. Bryan. Lukas. Our congregation and my swim team and, somewhere, a half sister who might someday become a whole one.

In them, my sense of holiness only grows
