Tucked away in the mountains of East Tennessee in a small town, Anna and her best friend, Ray, find their way through life's laughter and tears. Along the way, both make new friends and learn new things about themselves and about God. Each twist of the story tells of inspiration and encouragement discovered each day when helping another person also allows us to help ourselves. As the story takes us to the women's ministry called The Sparrow, Anna and Ray find that the shelter gives them both as much as they give to the shelter.
