Summary: When a mammogram result comes back abnormal, midlife mama Summer Finley makes a snap decision to relegate fear to the back burner and fulfill a lifelong dream. Summer heads for Holland where she meets up with tulips, wooden shoes, and her best friend, Noelle.

Pen pals since fourth grade, Summer and Noelle have never met face-to-face. Through decades of heart-level correspondence, they have sustained a deep friendship. A week of adventure helps both women trade anxiety for a renewed and deeper trust in God. When Summer confides in Noelle about the abnormal medical report, Noelle finds the freedom to share a long-held heartache, and both women discover they needed each other more than they realized.

Review

This is another thoroughly enjoyable Sisterchicks books from Gunn. Anyone who is already a fan will want to pick this one up,.Anyone who hasn't had the privilege of reading a Sisterchick novel should do so at the first opportunity! These are wonderful stories of faith and friendship and travel that take you to places all over the world for adventures. The stories are usually fairly light and breezy and full of lots of sights, sounds, food and language from the places they travel to, in this case the Netherlands. I've always enjoyed how Gunn incorporates a lot of the culture of the particular country into the story. As always when I read a Sisterchicks book, I just want to call all my friends and go on a road trip of our own! I'd heartily recommend that if you haven't read any of this series to grab this one and get started - and soon you'll feel as if you've traveled the world with some of your best friends!
