Just like in my dream, I was
drowning and nobody even noticed.
Every morning, Carmen Hart pastes on her made-for-TV smile
and broadcasts the weather. She’s the Florida panhandle’s
favorite meteorologist, married to everyone’s favorite high
school football coach. They’re the perfect-looking couple,
live in a nice house, and attend church on Sundays. From the
outside, she’s a woman who has it all together. But on the
inside, Carmen Hart struggles with doubt. She wonders if she
made a mistake when she married her husband. She wonders if
God is as powerful as she once believed. Sometimes she
wonders if He exists at all. After years of secret losses
and empty arms, she’s not so sure anymore.
Until Carmen’s sister—seventeen year old runaway, Gracie
Fisher—steps in and changes everything. Gracie is caught
squatting at a boarded-up motel that belongs to Carmen’s
aunt, and their mother is off on another one of her benders,
which means Carmen has no other option but to take Gracie
in. Is it possible for God to use a broken teenager and an
abandoned motel to bring a woman’s faith and marriage back
to life? Can two half-sisters make each other whole?
