There's so much to get used to--a new school, new friends, new ways of dressing and speaking. Mostly Lizzie loves her new life, but it's not easy getting used to so many changes at once. Perhaps the hardest part is growing up itself. Suddenly her older sister Emma expects Lizzie to "act her age," but what does that even mean? Is it wrong to want to splash in slush puddles, play games with friends, and run through the woods? Lizzie wants to be a good girl, but it's confusing to know when it's ok to have fun, how she should pray, and why she still does naughty things. Mam and Dat seem to have enough money now--there's plenty of food and the kids even get extra special Christmas gifts. Mam smiles more and Dat seems more relaxed. But when Lizzie and Emma wake up to a room full of smoke, they realize danger can strike even when things feel the most secure. Will their new community come to their aid after the fire? And why does God allow such scary things to happen?

Years prior, doctors told Chrissie it would be less likely for her to conceive a child. However, she heard the voice of the Lord say "You and your husband will conceive a child".

After suffering 4 miscarriages she never questioned or gave up hope about what God had spoken. In 2015, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Chelsie.
