Dorothy Peal is the girl everyone expects to shine.

She's smart, talented, and standing on the edge of everything she's worked for-graduation, college, a life that finally feels like it's hers. But after a single night leaves her wounded and overwhelmed with shame, Dorothy is sent from home to Philadelphia to live with her Aunt Jackie and Uncle Paul, a pastor whose pulpit is loud-and whose faith doesn't make room for easy answers.

Dorothy tries to survive by staying busy, staying quiet, and staying "fine." Until grief hits, questions rise, and the God she used to trust feels painfully distant.

Then Dorothy's struggle turns spiritual in a way she never saw coming: a strange journey into the Land of Uz, where she comes face-to-face with her own "Self," and a preacher who keeps pulling her back to one relentless question from the Book of Job: What does it mean to be righteous when your life is falling apart?
