Brianne Carmichael cannot imagine her life being the same without her best friend, Sarah. After two years of being her closest friend ever, Sarah is moving away, and Brianne must begin her seventh grade year without her. As the first day of school arrives, some old friends, along with new ones, keep her day and the weeks that follow from being as unbearable as she originally thought. But when one of those friends does something completely awful that puts her in a difficult and embarrassing situation with a new boy at school, she misses Sarah more than ever and wishes Ashlee would have moved away instead. Can Brianne find it in her heart to forgive, or will she let anger rule in her heart instead of love?
We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in Him. God is love, and all who live in love, live in God, and God lives in them. 1 John 4:16
