Full of biblical truths and step-by-step application of concepts discussed, the book also includes a chapter-by-chapter study guide to be used individually or in small groups, as well as four letters from godly women who have been married for 30, 40, and 50+ years, offering priceless, hard-won advice to single women.

In a culture of distorted love, sisters and speakers offer real-life stories, biblical truths, and down-to-earth advice to help single women break free from false views of romance and uncover God's vision for lasting love and satisfying relationships.
