Mother's Day for Dotty Monteiro begins with four cards and ends with an unexpected turn of events. As she and her husband Pete anticipate phone calls from their five children, she quietly prays for visits and a chance to laugh together as a family and hug her children. But where is Lolly, the daughter who felt displaced when the youngest was born? She hasn't been home for three years. Not a call or a card in so long. What Dotty would give to see her daughter again!

Dotty has a long-time faith in Christ and knows God always hears her prayers. But she also knows sometimes they are met with silence. How will her Mother's Day unfold this year? Will it be a repeat of years past? When will she experience the Mother's Day of her heart's desire?

Jean Ann Williams introduced the young Monteiro children in her previous book, Just Claire. Now leap into their future as adults with their own families.
