Margaret Patterson has spent most of her seventy-five years believing that love means taking care of the people God has placed in her life. Since her husband Harold's death, much of that love has focused on her seventeen-year-old grandson, Roy.

But Roy is changing.

Still struggling with the loss of the grandfather who helped raise him, Roy has begun making choices Margaret would rather explain than confront. When missing money, drugs, and a dangerous friendship lead to consequences no amount of love can prevent, both grandmother and grandson are forced to face truths they have spent too long avoiding.

For Roy, that means learning the difference between having reasons for his choices and taking responsibility for them. For Margaret, it means discovering that protecting someone from consequences is not always the same as loving them.

Set in the small rural community of Frisco, Missouri, The Second Pie is a Christian family drama about grief, responsibility, forgiveness, and grace. It follows a young man learning that the worst thing he has done does not have to define the man he becomes, and a grandmother learning that sometimes Faith means trusting God with the people she cannot save herself.
