We all know loss — of health, of loved ones, of expectations — so how do we find hope and trust again? This is a tender and powerful story of hope in the face of loss—a story we all share. Follow the journey of a girl who seeks answers to hard questions. Witness her unexpected connection to the divine, and observe how this relationship changes her life. There is honesty, there is vulnerability, and there is raw courage. Her journey teaches us deep truths. You may laugh, you may cry, but in the end you will feel hopeful—for you, too, will come to trust your own beautiful journey.
