tested. After a risky compromise is made, Amelia falls into a dark
emotional place, where she finds skeletons she’d fought hard to deny. In

Sharon's Review:

I found this book entertaining as well as well written. Amelia and her
husband are struggling to make ends meet with working multiple jobs from day to
day. Amelia is an accomplished pianoist and wants to play for something better
that teaching kids how to play. Her husband tutors kids in different things and
has been offered a position as a senior pastor at a church in Nebraska, but
Amelia does not want to move for she has landed a job with a musical troupe to
play the piano. What are they going to do? They decide to let God lead them to
the positions that God wants them to have and where God wants them to be
