Follow Maddy Carter, a once-silent sixth-grader growing up in a home filled with brokenness, fear, and silence, as she begins a journey toward healing, courage, and renewed hope.
Through meaningful friendships, youth group encounters, the guidance of Scripture, and an unexpected discovery of a Bible in her basement, Maddy slowly begins to see her life through a new lens.
