#1 Tornado Tragedy

A storm brews. Tension builds. Can peace prevail?

The Hardings’ home is anything but peaceful with the constant clashes of Jennie and her six siblings, each with a different personality.

In the midst of sibling squabbles comes a large ministry opportunity: raising money to keep a local missions organization from closing. But what seems like a chance for them to finally learn to work together, quickly escalates into stormy words and more arguments.

Jennie’s new puppy and a mysterious locked chest do not help matters any, as they distract the siblings from their goal, and the Hardings’ elderly neighbors are trying to discourage them from working to save the ministry. Will the siblings ever learn to work together and show each other love and kindness?

As they wait, hoping they can soon continue on their way, they see doors of opportunity opening: searching for the intended recipient of a long overdue letter, working alongside a pastor’s family to help those affected by the ice storm they were caught in, and learning the importance and meaning of honoring their parents.
