Leaving might break Angela's heart. Can she put her future in God's hands?

Angela Palmer has always known what she's meant to do: study cello performance at the prestigious Gardner Conservatorium, and earn a place in an orchestra.

But a string of losses leaves her bearing the financial burden of her grandmother's dream. Pressed on all sides by schoolwork, three jobs, cello lessons, and endless practice, she finds solace in writing her own songs, encouraged by her biggest fan (and secret crush), Emir.

With her audition for Gardner Con looming, tension grows as Angela confronts the true cost of pursuing her calling - saying goodbye to her home, her family, her friends... and Emir. Can she place her future in God's hands, and trust His plan for her life?

If you enjoy sweet coming-of-age stories about pursuing God's calling, small-town community, and being led by the Lord, The Pressing will strike a chord.
