by Karen Kingsbury (Author)
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury, known for her deeply moving stories of love and faith, comes the next chapter in the Bailey Flanigan series--a powerful novel about dreams, heartbreak, and the choices that define us.
Bailey Flanigan is living her dream, performing on Broadway and adjusting to the whirlwind of life in New York City. But even as she dances under the bright lights, something is missing. Without Cody by her side, her success feels hollow. And when her future on stage is suddenly threatened, Bailey begins to wonder if she truly belongs in this world after all.
Back in Indiana, Cody Coleman has dedicated himself to coaching a struggling high school football team, mentoring young players on and off the field. But his past--marked by his mother's addiction and the pain it left behind--continues to cast a shadow over his life. Convinced that Bailey deserves more than the chaos that follows him, he makes the hardest decision of all: to let her go.
As Bailey tries to move forward, she finds comfort in Brandon Paul, a famous actor who sees her worth and offers a future full of possibilities. Meanwhile, Cody faces a tragedy that forces him to confront his deepest fears. When the weight of their choices becomes unbearable, will they find their way back to each other--or are their paths forever changed?
Poignant, thought-provoking, and filled with the heart Kingsbury's readers love, Learning explores the cost of chasing dreams, the power of faith, and the kind of love that never lets go.
Learning is the second book in the beloved Bailey Flanigan series, featuring members of the popular Baxter family from Kingsbury's Redemption series, now streaming online.
