"Just come to one meeting, little cousin. I just know it'll be a breath of fresh air for you."
Opal lost her mother to a severe heart attack when she was eleven years old. The grief turned to anger, which eventually turned her heart against God. Her older cousin, James, whom her mother took in when he was thirteen, was now her guardian. James is the youth pastor at their church. Though he know Opal has denounced God, he still takes her to church with him, in hopes that something will change within her. He suggests her joining the church's youth group to try to get her mind away from her anger at God, meet new friends, and find a way to enjoy church.
How will everything turn out for Opal? Will she stay stuck in her ways of fury from grief? Or will this be the thing that causes something to lift off of her and lets her breathe again?
