Leave It to Claire — Tracey Victoria Bateman / Tracey Bateman

Unexpected surgery drags Claire Everett, single mother and writer, away from her computer and back into the real world. During her recovery, she faces how disconnected she has become while immersed in her career. As she has been toiling on her fiction, her kids have grown distant, her mother has decided to move away, and her life has spiraled out of control.

Scrambling to get her footing, Claire invents a six-steps-to-a-better-life game plan, determined to renovate everything and everyone around her. Family movie nights, commitment to Bible study, determination to try to exercise, and the recognition that she must reconnect with people outside of cyberspace fuel her personal whole-life makeover.

But can Claire fix her family and herself? Will her plan help her to salvage old relationships and avoid sabotaging new ones? Or, will she realize that sometimes the only way to truly grow is to let go of her own plans and embrace God's?
