Pennys Leben funktioniert nach drei Regeln: 1. Sie gibt sich nur mit Bestnoten zufrieden. 2. Sie verliert nie einen Geländelauf. Und 3.: Sie spricht niemals mit Cade Kelley. Letzteres ändert sich jedoch schlagartig, als der Schulleiter persönlich sie zu Cades Mentorin erklärt. Ausgerechnet!

Hello and welcome to Beyond Bliss. I’m Suzanne, the author and voice you’ll be hearing from each week. Here's the deal: life is a constant ebb and flow of challenges and conflicts. Inevitably, we overcome them. But, whether at work or home, we still face clashes in our daily lives. We've been conditioned to progress through life, from one conflict experience to the next, giving our power away by allowing conflict to determine the difference between a good day and a bad day. But what if I told you there's a better way, a mindset shift that’s a game changer?

We are a people of stories. We use them to entertain, to teach, and to instruct. Sometimes they warn us of the dangers of wandering too far into the woods, or they can be a detailed story to explain how magnificent landscapes came to be. Story has always been the way we pass time, the way we connect to each other, and most importantly, how we promote our values. Parables, especially, have a dual purpose. Not only do they keep us entertained, but they also make a point. Consider Aesop’s fables—tales of talking animals who learn valuable life lessons.

Naomi Carmichael (nee) Brooks was a hater. Well, a reformed hater, that is. Destiny, her sister, had been deemed by her church, family, and all creation “the golden child”, so Naomi knows how it feels intimately and repeatedly to have someone steal her thunder. And now that she was about to be a divorced mother of three, struggling to make it on a state job, with an ex that was all about rubbing her nose in it, Naomi wouldn't know what to do if God hadn't given her what her and her bestie called, “the hater's prayer".
