    Instead of clinging to grace, we strive for good and believe that the Christian life means hard work and a sweet disposition.

With an open hand and a whimsical style, Emily uncovers the truth about the hiding, encouraging women to move from hiding behind girl-made masks and do-good performances to a life hidden with Christ in God.
