When fifteen-year-old Emily Greene wakes up to police banging on her door, she is shocked to see her mother arrested on drug charges.

Uprooted and in disbelief, Emily moves to a new town to stay with her grandmother, known as Crazy Carol for her outspoken faith and quirky behaviors. As if the arrest isnt enough, kids at her new school immediately begin to stereotype and judge her based on the news theyve heard about her mom.

Emily is sure her mothers fiancé is to blame for the crime. He has conveniently disappeared since the day of the arrest. Shes determined to find him, and prove hes at fault. But something awful happens, shaking her world yet again.

After this string of tragedies, Emily starts to question God, but is gently and consistently reminded by her grandmother, through stories she tells of all the sticks, leaves, and stones she collects, that God is her good and faithful parent.

Emily must learn that the words others say about her dont matter, that her moms mistakes dont define her, and she is always deeply loved by her heavenly father. If only she can learn to forgive herself.
