CeCe Carter is living what seems to be a perfect life in Maryville, Georgia, when tragedy strikes, causing her to become the mother figure for her three teenage siblings. Overwhelmed, CeCe reflects on the prayer her grandmother taught her that Jesus will never give her more than she can bear and attempts to bravely move forward. As she tries to reconcile her anger, fears, and anxiety, CeCe cannot help but feel that life is unfair.
Soon CeCe settles into somewhat of a normal routine that eventually includes marriage to her boyfriend, Lee. With help from her new husband and her faith, CeCe manages to overcome a variety of challenges that include an emotionally needy neighbor and rebellious teenagers. As the teens mature into adulthood, CeCe's trials and tribulations continue as she tries to guide her younger siblings into making good choices. Now only time will tell if her reliance on the Lord and her motherly instincts have put her siblings on the right path to achieving everything her parents would have ever wanted for them.
In this touching novella, a woman suddenly thrust into the responsibility of motherhood after a family tragedy must find the strength and faith to guide her three siblings into adulthood.
