For YA readers who loved "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants", "If I Stay", and the writings of John Green (The Fault in Our Stars) comes a story of four friends - Kaila, Amy, Jenny, and Stephanie - who must find faith in order to overcome the many obstacles they face. Kaila, Amy, Jenny, and Stephanie have already faced hardships that have changed their lives forever. However, at sixteen years old, the girls continue to struggle further with the harsh realities of life, like death, loss, sickness, abandonment, and addiction. After Kaila's parents die in a tragic car crash, she must learn to cope with her new reality, living without a strong parental figure and facing the world on her own instincts. Amy faces hardships of her own as she struggles to overcome the consequences of her father's alcoholism and abusive tendencies. Years after Jenny's mom abruptly left her family behind, Jenny takes the responsibility of caring for her brothers and her verbally abusive father. Stephanie, after spending a lifetime taking care of her alcoholic, drug addict, sexually promiscuous mother, is forced to struggle through her haunting memories of childhood without a shoulder to cry on. While each girl believes herself to be alone in her struggles, they soon learn that they will have to choose between the kind of future they want to have and the future the world says they are destined to have.
