Synopsis

Life has shattered all around you. Now what?

What do you do when you are suddenly navigating a life you didn't sign up for? You never saw this pain coming, and you're facing a future you'd pass up if you could.

Lisa Appelo understands deeply. She has experienced the raw emotions and uncertainty that come when everything falls apart. Lisa went to bed married and woke up a widow and single mom to seven children. She wrestled with impossible questions about her future—and then found life-changing answers that gave her the strength to move forward with true joy.

With compassion and rich biblical insight, Lisa will help you find your footing when circumstances bring massive change; process hard emotions with God, who welcomes them; overcome paralyzing fear with three scriptural steps; and anchor your faith when your hope seems threadbare.

Your unexpected future may feel like Plan B, but it's God's purposeful Chapter Two for you as He reshapes your shattered heart. With each tender, intentional step, you'll see you will not merely survive this, but that life can be good again.

Goodreads review by Lyli on April 05, 2022

I can't tell you how much I needed this book. I'd lost my joy and thought life was over, but Lisa's words of hope reminded me that God is not finished writing my story yet. I can't thank her enough for putting into words exactly how I feel and standing beside me and gently nudging me to trust God ha......more
