Pete Wilson reaches beyond the typical Christian response to offer frank understanding, honest encouragement, and real hope for your Plan B reality. Drawing on real-life stories from the Bible (David, Joseph, Mary, and Martha) and the present day, he writes to help you:

* Move past the feelings of crisis: panic, fear, paralysis, and overcontrol.

* See God in your circumstances—even when he doesn't seem to be there at all.

* Make peace with doubt, which can actually be an expression of faith.

* Find hope through the redemptive power of community.

* Ask the right questions in order to find real, satisfying answers.

* Explore the relationship between shattered dreams and true spiritual transformation.
