When you come to the end of your rope…
it’s time to find another rope.
Gwendolyn Grace And All the Other Chicks
a contemporary YA Christian Fiction short story
by Lauren Thell
There is safety in the darkness under the wings of the mother hen.
If God were truly merciful, he would’ve spared Beatrice’s father from an agonizing death.
Now Bea is left with shaken faith, a stepfamily she doesn’t fit into, and exactly one friend—the quirky boy from down the road whom she could pummel in an arm-wrestling contest.
So much for merciful.
Then her stepmother gives her a flock of baby chicks with the hope that Bea finds her purpose again. But Bea wonders if it’s lost for good.
