Marci has always been most comfortable with life when she has a good set of rules to follow. Most people who know her well have learned to love her in spite of her legalistic approach to everything from faith to relationships. Now, Marci is a divorced mother of three. Her life is falling apart, and she is beginning to question all of her strict “rules.”

Sometimes rules just do not work, and Marci sees the role they played in the disintegration of her marriage. Her strict conformity to what she believes are the rules of faith and relationships have prevented her from experiencing the true happiness and peace God wants her to have.

When Marci learns the hard way that life is not always black and white, she discovers something even better: grace. Before she can learn to give grace to the people around her, she must first learn to receive God’s grace for herself. As she learns to allow God to guide her, she finds happiness, renewed relationships, and a faith stronger than ever before.
