Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes — Robin Jones Gunn

Welcome to the land of tulips, and wooden shoes!

SISTERCHICK n: a friend who laughs with you till you cry and cries with you till you laugh; a gift from God.

A multitasking mama, Summer Finley has found ways to handle whatever life throws at her with grace and a grin. Until now. An "abnormal" medical test result sends Summer into an emotional tailspin and prompts her to fulfill a life-long dream of meeting her best friend and pen pal since fourth grade, Noelle Van Zandt, face-to-face.

Their blissful week together in the Netherlands finds Summer and Noelle floating down a canal in Amsterdam, visiting Corrie ten Boom's Hiding Place, sipping decadent Dutch cocoa in Delft, and bobbing merrily along through a sea of brilliant, spring-fresh tulips. Each day takes them further from midlife anxiety and closer to trusting God in deeper ways.

As their week of adventure comes to an end, the two friends find they needed to be together more than either of them realized.
