Lily Rosetti copes pretty well with life after her parents' divorce. But when her 8-year-old brother, Michael, wants to live with his dad---and then is abandoned at the airport after a 2-week "experiment"---Lily hates with a fierceness she never thought possible! Can she ever forgive her father? Can Michael? Ages 12 and up.

Lily has settled into life in Connecticut after her parent's divorce but it's been harder on her eight-year-old brother Michael. After their mother remarries, her brother chooses to go live with his father in Washington, D.C., until the day he calls home from the Baltimore-Washington Airport where his father has abandoned him.

Lily is home babysitting her baby stepbrother when she answers the phone. She has no idea the extent to which her faith in God will be tested. There is no choice for Lily. She will rescue Michael, but will she be able to rescue herself from the bitterness and anger she feels?
