✦ Synopsis

The perfect man. The perfect home. The perfect family. But when it all comes tumbling down... MEET RENATA GUSTAFSON Renata Gustafson Dixon’s life is going exactly the way she wants it. A beautiful home. A wonderful husband and four boys who make her life oh-so-sweet and (almost) complete. Then Juliette, the oldest of the four Gustafson girls, opens up a can of worms labeled ‘Angela Clinton’ at a G-FOURce meeting, and things are said and accusations made that can’t be taken back. When tragedy strikes, sending Renata’s carefully-constructed world spinning out beyond her control, she must learn to set aside her own will and lean on the strength of those who love her before she loses all hope for the future. MEET THE GUSTAFSON GIRLS Orphaned by a drunk driver, it’s the G-FOURce—the Gustafson Four club—that unites the sisters when their differences would tear them apart. All grown now, Juliette has become the quintessential doormat, Renata, the self-appointed matriarchal figure. Phoebe is, according to Ren, borderline narcissistic, and Gia is on the verge of a major identity crisis. Then there’s Angela Clinton, the senior class darling who plowed her cherry 1970 el Camino into the Gustafons' car that fateful night. She's up for parole and word is she's moving back to town. Is the G-FOURce strong enough to keep the sisters together as they step into the eye of the storm that’s been brewing for the last fifteen years? Note: The Gustafson Girls series is Christian Contemporary Romance with lots of family dynamics. **

Review

"Renata is human and her life is just as unpredictable as mine. This is neither the homily nor the formula you so often find in Christian fiction. What a prize - intelligent Christian Romance! " Amazon Reviewer

"I read the whole book in an airport and on a flight, and strangers around me probably wondered why I was alternately laughing and crying! I can't wait to see what Doughty does with Phoebe's story next." Amazon Reviewer

"This book just lingers in the back of my mind and deep in my heart. I love these sisters and while they are not perfect I can't help but wish my own sister relationships were more like this. All Renata's boys are so precious and authentic. The heartache, triumph, passion, and love make this an unforgettable story." B.E. FaithfulllyBookish.com

"The grief and heartache expressed in this story is vivid and rich....but so is the hope and redemption. Doughty doesn't avoid death, miscarriages, and love after death. She hits it head on even while waving the banner of faith in it all." Nicole Wise

"I have started every one of Becky Doughty's books thinking that I will like it and end up loving it. There are always elements of humor, sweetness and lighthearted moments, but she always digs deeper into complex real characters." C.L. - Amazon Reviewer

"I enjoyed the first in this series so much that I was sure I would like the second, but I was wrong. I didn't "like" this book, I Loved it! I laughed, I cried, I even cheered a couple of times." A. Henson
