A story for all who have struggled with choices, family, or faith. Vanessa Palmer suffers from the guilt of painful life choices and the inescapable feeling that she's been a disappointment to her parents. With her counselor's help, she is determined to confront a past she'd rather forget, and with the turn of a page, we are drawn into the thoughts and feelings of someone we know. Serious, funny, and unflinchingly honest, Vanessa compels us to follow her on a journey through the loves and losses that shaped her life-and to learn about God's unlimited ability to reach into the darkest places of our lives.
