In this soul-rejuvenating book, Rachel Dodge takes these gleaming treasures out one by one and hands them to her readers. From our favorite characters--Matthew, Marilla, Anne, Diana, and Gilbert--and stories, we learn about God's boundless, healing love and utter acceptance of us as His beloved daughters. We understand in a new way that even though it may feel as though our life is 'a perfect graveyard of buried hopes, ' God is always working, redeeming, and rescuing us at every bend in the road."
