1. In Gabby's case, her anguish was exacerbated because someone deliberately "did something" that caused her pain (as opposed to an accident or natural disaster). Read Psalm 37:1-17. What phrases stand out to you that might give comfort in such a situation? What guidance does the psalmist give to help deal with hurts caused by other people?

2. A number of people come alongside Gabby during this crisis, but in different ways. What role do the following play in helping Gabby to stand up and be strong? Pick Two. Edesa, Mabel, Harry Bentley, Lee Boyer, Lucy, Sarge, Mike Fairbanks, Jodi Baxter.

3. How do you feel about Gabby's difficult decision to leave her boys in Virginia? What does that say about her character?

4. Why do you think Philip showed up at Martha Shepherd's funeral? How did you feel about that? Do you think Philip is redeemable?

5. How realistic is Gabby's dream to create a "House of Hope"? She's well meaning but is she equipped? Is this the right time? What problems do you foresee?

6. In what ways do you see Gabby growing and changing in this book?

I hope everyone enjoyed reading this book!
