This is a spiritual memoir of a girl walking through a long period of being in the "desert" - single, jobless, coming from a poor family and with her mother suffering from cancer (among other issues of the authoress's life). The authoress is passionate in her teaching about God is faithful even in the times when He is (supposedly) silent and we are in pain (physical, mental and/or spiritual).
While I love the personal side of the story (the authoress is vulnerable and authentic in her sharing and I very much appreciate her honesty) and some parts of the book will stay with me (like her listening to God's voice and command to go and witness publicly the God's given word that there is someone in the crowd sleeping with somebody other than their spouse) - I also lack some more in-depth look about the trust even when God's will is different than the content of your prayers, for example. But this might be just my preference and it does not de-value the heart of the authoress and her authentic testimony.

I loved this book! I connected with so much for Olthoff's story and it was inspiring to see how far God has brought her.
