“What an incredible story of obedience and redemption. I cried, I laughed, I could feel her pain. I could definitely relate to the utter brokenness Kim felt, but I loved how Gad had His hand on her the whole time and I loved it when she finally realized it! A heartwarming story of the resilience of the young, and the courage to hear and obey God’s whisper.”
