Two girls’ lives are irrevocably intertwined the summer of 1985
in the streets of Brooklyn, New York, and neither will ever be the
same in this coming-of-age story that spans decades. In the summer
of 1985, Lisa Whitaker is a church kid headed to college on a
scholarship while her best friend, Dana, is floundering in the wake
of her mother’s latest eviction. Though Lisa tries to help, their
paths diverge. Fifteen years later, Lisa has a beautiful family and
is stepping into her dream job as the director for a social
services organization. Everything is going right—until her future
is snatched away by identity theft. Her life begins to unravel, and
Lisa wants nothing more than to see the woman responsible pay for
her crimes. When she was a teenager, Dana Jones always felt alone
in this world. Her mother was addicted to drugs, her boyfriend was
entering a life of crime, and it seemed Dana, too, was heading down
the wrong path. The only bright light was her friendship with Lisa.
Now, in the new millennium, Dana finally gives herself permission
to dream—to believe she is stepping into better days. But when
the betrayal of their friendship comes to light, it will take a
lifetime to forgive the destruction that youthful summer in
Bed-Stuy set in motion. In this latest story from beloved author
Vanessa Miller, two girls from the Bed-Stuy neighborhood of
Brooklyn, New York, find that their paths have been woven together
by the love of community and a friendship that is tested by time,
betrayal, and unforgiveness. Inspirational Christian fiction
