Is it just me? Am I the only one who's lonely? Am I the only one without friends?
If you've ever asked yourself these questions, Amy Weatherly and Jess Johnston, founders of the widely popular "Sister, I Am with You," community, are raising their hands to say, "Yeah, us too." And they want to encourage, equip, and reassure you that you have what it takes to build the kind of friendships you want.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sister I Am with You bloggers Weatherly and Johnston encourage young women to build "lasting sisterhood" with other women based on trust and Christian faith in their heartfelt debut. The authors met in a blogging group and struck up a friendship that serves as the blueprint for this volume's advice. "Friendship involves effort on both parts," the authors contend, especially early on: "You have to show up for a sapling." To do this, the authors suggest finding common ground with strangers to establish connections, and letting one's love of God inspire one to love others. The authors also entreat readers to stop comparing themselves to others and believe in their own worth because "anything made by God—is flawless." The upbeat attitude and bubbly musings ("Should I keep watching Bridgerton until two in the morning while snacking on cheese? My heart says yes") make for an uplifting and endearing outing, particularly for young women. The sensible advice and shared sunny disposition make these authors a winning combo.
