How do we set boundaries with people? What can I expect from life if I have had an abusive childhood? How can I learn to communicate better with my spouse? As an adopted person, should I seek out my birth parent? Am I a hoarder? How do I deal with abandonment? The characters in this collection of short stories by Helen McAlley face many dilemmas and gain insights as they seek to work on their problems.

For many nowadays the concept of a loving God seems irrelevant, but many of the characters in these stories come to see Him as loving and interested in every detail of their lives.

Helen McAlley draws on her experience as a teacher, counsellor, mother, grandmother and Anglican priest to bring together these stories in which every reader will find something they can relate to.
