About the Book
Pressures of the celebrity lifestyle weigh heavily on Dayne and Katy Matthews as they take on separate movie projects. Tabloid rumors talk of trouble and unfaithfulness between the two, but finally something drastic catches Dayne’s attention and makes him realize the destruction they’re playing with. But will it be too late? The Flanigan family recognizes the deep loss of the Christian Kids Theater program, and they lead a final effort to keep the theater from being torn down. Meanwhile, John Baxter takes the next step in his growing relationship with Elaine, giving him a season to contemplate selling the Baxter house and, along with it, losing a lifetime of memories made there. As the rest of the family considers the future and what may lie ahead, they must pull together like never before. Only their undying love for each other can help the Baxters get past the trials of today for a life they know is possible... SOMEDAY.

Discussion Questions
1. Were you surprised that Katy and Dayne agreed to film movies in separate countries so early in their marriage? What did you expect would happen?
2. What did you think about Ashley’s determination to find meaning in her baby daughter’s short life? Have you ever looked for a miracle in a situation that didn’t go the way you’d hoped? Explain.
3. Talk about Brooke’s change of heart toward life. What events spurred her interest in reopening a crisis pregnancy center? Does your town have a crisis pregnancy center? If so, what do you know about it?
4. Read 2 Chronicles 20. If you don’t have a Bible, you can find a copy of this chapter online at www.Bible.com. What do you think this chapter of Scripture says about the battles of life? According to these verses, what role does God play in the battle?
5. Again according to this section of Scripture, when does the victory happen for God’s people? Have you ever experienced a time when you overcame a problem by praising God? Explain.
6. Were you surprised by Ashley’s healed relationship with Brooke? Why did that happen?
7. Have you ever struggled with a sibling? Talk about that struggle and explain how you were able to find common ground again or how you might reconcile.
8. The photograph of what seemed to be Dayne and Randi was almost enough to convince Katy her marriage was a sham. Why was she so easily convinced? Do you think you would’ve held up to that situation better? Why or why not?
9. Why was it so important to Ashley that the changes she saw in the hospital room the day she delivered Sarah be carried through to completion in the months after her daughter’s death?
10. Has there been a time when you prayed for something, and after God chose to say no, something miraculous and unexpected happened? Tell about that experience. What did you learn from it?
11. Against the backdrop of the media’s rush to accuse Dayne of being unfaithful, Katy and Dayne’s marriage is again strained. What could they have done differently, and how would you handle a situation like theirs?
12. Though your issues will be different, have you and your spouse ever struggled because of a misunderstanding? Talk about that and explain how you worked through the situation.
13. How important is forgiveness to a marriage? to a friendship or sibling relationship? Give examples.
14. Ashley was looking for a miracle when she lost her daughter. By the end of Someday, what miracles had occurred because of little Sarah’s life? What other miracles might still happen in the months to come?
15. Describe the moment when John asked Elaine to marry him. How was this time different from a first-time marriage proposal?
16. Talk about someone you know who has lost a spouse and then remarried. What were some of the struggles of that situation? What were some of the joys? How do you think these might relate to John and Elaine in the future?
17. Explain the labor of love John gave his children by putting together the scrapbooks with letters from Elizabeth. How have Elizabeth’s letters helped each of the Baxter siblings over the course of the series?
18. Dayne is very touched by his scrapbook, and he becomes aware of the power of a gift. Tell about a gift you gave that had a particularly great amount of meaning. What was the result of that gift, if any?
