The Curious Calling

Lily Thatcher loves her new life. After escaping a dysfunctional home, she has found a safe haven with the Monroe family and a new best friend in their daughter, Madison. But when Madison gifts her a mysterious, leather-bound book that once belonged to her grandmother, Lily discovers that her spiritual journey is only just beginning. The pages are blank at first, but they don’t stay that way. Instructions begin to appear, guiding Lily to make a difference in the world around her in ways she never expected. Some tasks are fun, like cheering for a bench-warming basketball player or getting her driver’s license. Others are confusing, especially when they involve navigating a new relationship with Madison’s college-aged brother. When misunderstandings arise and jealousy flares, Lily questions if she is really cut out for this new life of faith. Her curious book challenges her to look past her insecurities, but following its guidance is harder than she imagined. The ultimate test arrives when the book demands the unthinkable. It tells Lily to visit her biological mother in prison. After years of neglect and a recent betrayal, Lily wants nothing to do with the woman who scarred her life and ruined her future. Caught between her pain and a divine command to forgive, Lily must choose. Will she let her past define her, or will she trust the curious calling that could finally set her free?
