Sharon Garlough Brown tells the moving story of four strangers as they embark together on a journey of spiritual formation:

• Hannah, a pastor who doesn't realize how exhausted she is.
• Meg, a widow and recent empty-nester who is haunted by her past.
• Mara, a woman who has experienced a lifetime of rejection and is now trying to navigate a difficult marriage.
• Charissa, a hard-working graduate student who wants to get things right.

You're invited to join these four women as they reluctantly arrive at a retreat center and find themselves drawn out of their separate stories of isolation and struggle and into a collective journey of spiritual practice, mutual support and personal revelation. Along the way, readers will be taken into a new understanding of key spiritual practices and find tangible support for the deeper life with God.
