Two Steps Forward: A Story of Persevering in Hope (Sensible Shoes Book 2)

The second book in the Sensible Shoes series follows four women as they continue their spiritual formation journeys, each facing distinct obstacles. Meg, a widow and recent empty-nester, travels to London to visit her daughter but struggles when her plans go awry. Charissa, a graduate student, works to release her need for control as she navigates an unexpected pregnancy. Hannah, a pastor on sabbatical, seeks balance between rest and a new relationship while processing recurring grief. Mara, a wife and mother, hopes for improvement in her difficult family life as tensions mount and circumstances worsen. Each woman grapples with what hope means in her particular circumstances. The narrative reflects the experience of spiritual growth as a non-linear process, inviting readers to recognize their own journeys in these women's stories.
