Some girls are born on a pedestal. Hanna and her sisters were born beneath it.
Eleven-year-old Hanna has spent her life caring for her younger sisters in a filthy motel room with an addicted mother and a stream of dangerous men. One brutal police raid at Motel Six shatters what little normal they had and throws the girls into foster care, and into separate homes.
Clinging to the perfect paper dolls she cuts from brown paper bags, Hanna dreams of a life where little girls are safe, fed, and loved. But behind pretty houses and tidy farmyards, she meets control, secrets, and heartbreak. As her mental health frays and the weight of guilt and trauma grows heavier, unexpected kindness, a steadfast police sergeant, and a quiet first love begin to show her that God has not forgotten those beneath the pedestal.
Beneath the Pedestal is a raw, hope-filled Christian novel about foster care, survival, and the God who sees the broken and calls them beloved.
