With wisdom and compassion, Sue writes of the different seasons of a woman's life: singleness, marriage, motherhood. She addresses the temptations: materialism, negativity, anger, lust, bitterness, busyness. She acknowledges the force of the "if-only". Yet, as she demonstrates with a wealth of striking examples, the key is in our attitude. "If we acknowledge that God is in control - and in every season of life this truth will be challenged - and that in his grace he loves us and pours out his Spirit upon us, then we will recognize that God is on our side." "There have been times of great pain. But God has given me much joy, too. This book has come into being as I have shared my life with my sisters in Christ: for many of them, God's power has enabled them to trust him as they walk in their new direction."
