Danielle successful fulfills all the Preacher's Kid duties: Sunday School, Bible Study, Youth Ushers, Youth Choir, great student . . . but the Allen home is filled with pretense. The happy marriage of Reverend and Mrs. Allen is a façade, her brothers are prodigal sons and Danielle struggles with her faith as she enters into adulthood. Joy, love, happiness and peace became mere words that were mentioned in her father's sermons and in her grandmother's stories of the wisdom seeds. After Danielle is beguiled and left heart-broken, single and pregnant, life begins to water the spiritual truths planted by her grandmother. Sometimes it really is the smallest things that mean so much like words planted in a little girl's heart. Initially, they have no meaning. It is when they bloom that we understand and appreciate their significance. What seeds have been planted in your life?

In spite of Lundyn's prayers, her mother never stopped using drugs and the bridges children were removed. The anger and frustration of being separated from her siblings was compounded by Lundyn's placement with a suburban white Christian family. Away from everything and everyone she had ever known and being thrust into a world of comfort only reinforced Lundyn's anger - Why didn't her mother love her enough to stop using drugs? Why couldn't her siblings stay together? Who was she to deserve being placed with a loving foster family? It took years before Lundyn was able to receive the love and blessings given by the Woodard's. Her growing faith allowed her to accept that an unanswered prayer doesn't mean God isn't listening. Although initially consumed by self-pity, Lundyn also came to realize that sometimes God gives us the things we need before we know to ask.
