With her mother gone and her father out of her life, when Annie
Culligan loses her Grandma Emma, she loses her entire family. With
nothing to hold her in tiny Mt. Gilead, Ohio, she heads west to
Nevada City, California, with her grandmother's worn leather
suitcase and fresh new teaching credentials in hand. Renting a room
from a gentle widow, she ventures into a new life and finds
friendship and a feeling of family that she thought she'd lost.
As a first-year science teacher, Annie gives much more to her
students than an education-she gives them acceptance and respect.
Even as her friendship with school psychologist Tom Phillips begins
to blossom, a painful, long-suppressed secret from her past
threatens to devastate her newfound joy. Will Annie confront and
overcome the shadows that have followed her throughout her
life?
The answer will depend on her willingness to forgive and to
trust God with her future-a lesson that will stretch her to her
very limits. Lessons is a celebration of the truth that when we are
willing to let go of the hurt and resentment we so often harbor in
our hearts, God is free to pour joy into the void.
