Meet Michelle, spunkiest resident of The Yard-three acres of land located on a nameless dirt road in the woods of Trenary, Michigan. With tough older brothers, a loving but grief-stricken mother, and bullies at school, life is not particularly easy. So little Michelle seeks refuge in birdsong and cat nests, afternoons with Grandma Alice and Aunt Meatball, the company of her faithful guardian angel, and wistful daydreams of love and belonging. Yet this is only the beginning, as Michelle leaves the imperfect refuge of childhood and embarks on a quest for wholeness and happiness. On a journey into the wider world that is both harrowing and hallowing, she will encounter ill-fated loves, unexpected motherhood, unscrupulous employers, unthinkable evil, and all manner of life-giving goodness. Join Michelle on her adventure of brokenness and healing, transformation and grace. Experience her life in all its unflinching rawness and redemptive glory. Laugh with her, love with her, weep with her, cry out for help with her. Discover the clarity behind the confusion. Find the restoration that awaits beyond devastation. And learn the true name of the guardian angel who found His lost child, made her path straight, and brought her home.
