Family Life During the Great Recession

Taylor Williams is in middle school. She faces a mountain of schoolwork and a boatload of fears. After all, it’s 2008, a period of economic downturn around the world. Taylor's dad could lose his job, her family could lose their home and she and her brothers could lose their school.

When Taylor’s best friend Casee faces an unexpected dilemma, she asks Taylor to take care of her dog, Toby. Taylor’s faith deepens as she learns that whatever we're called to give up, we can trust our Heavenly Father who loves us.
