The Plans We Made

 

When past secrets hold the only key to hope for the future…

Caroline Chapman is reeling from a broken engagement. Determined to start again, she moves cross-country for her dream job of planning events in the historical mansions of Newport, Rhode Island. Just as her life is getting back on track, she gets an email that shakes her very foundations.

Linda Riley’s life looks picture perfect - a wonderful husband, two great kids, involved in church and the community. Then comes the diagnosis that shatters the facade. In order to save her son’s life, she must reveal secrets that can rip everything apart.

Connected by more than painful circumstances, these two women discover a sacred bond. In this beautiful story of love, loss, and the fight for life, Caroline and Linda experience the reality that things don’t always go according to The Plans We Made.

Catherine West  |  Award-Winning Author

"To this adoptive mother and caregiver to a child who battled cancer, The Plans We Made is a story of love and forgiveness, touching the deepest places of the heart. Cushman and Beccue remind the reader that God can be fully trusted in the preserving pain that past secrets lend, that mistakes can result in miracles, and that when our plans fail, God never does. Hope for healing will linger in the reader’s thoughts long after turning the last page."
