In this soul-rejuvenating book, Rachel Dodge takes these gleaming treasures out one by one and hands them to her readers. From our favorite characters—Matthew, Marilla, Anne, Diana, and Gilbert—and stories, we learn about God’s boundless, healing love and utter acceptance of us as His beloved daughters. We understand in a new way that even though it may feel as though our life is ‘a perfect graveyard of buried hopes,’ God is always working, redeeming, and rescuing us at every bend in the road.”
