Mayberry University

Two guarded hearts. He's breaking down walls and she's building them higher A match made in Heaven, or a blueprint for disaster? After the fiery downward spiral of senior year, Kit Talbot crash-lands on a quirky college campus where traditions rule and dorm floors act more like family. It's just weird enough to keep her mind off the wreckage she's leaving behind. Enter Levi Whitaker, known as the swooniest guy on campus. Magnetic, confident, and far too much like the ex who sent her life into that PTSD-tainted nosedive. Levi seems to be everywhere, focused on her like she's the only girl in the worldeven indulging her sugar addiction with delivered treats. But Kit's self-preservation instincts are sharper than ever, and she deflects him like Wonder Woman blocking bullets. That is, until Levi's quiet faith and humble apology start to break down Kit's defenses. He loves Jesus in the dreamiest way, looks like wow, and ... somehow triggers the flashbacks she fights so hard to avoid. Every minute with him is a risk she isn't sure she should take. Should she protect them both from the chaos of her life or learn a bravery that feels irresponsible? As Kit fights to keep her life safe and manageable, she leans into her faith, clinging to the Bible verses God whispers to her heart. Clearly, he's up to something, but the healing she prays for isn't happening the way she wants. Why is God silent on the prayer she needs most?

One frenetic runner. One compulsive helper. A collision they can't seem to stop- And a God who won't follow their lead. Always singing Sophie Appel has a system: stay busy, feel later. Austin Scott is the strong and swoony golden retriever of Mayberry University-but lately, it's all fetch and no naps. Total opposites. Accidental best friends. And absolutely nothing more, even if the chemistry is sparkier than the pickles electrocuted in Chem Lab. It's for the best. Really. He's headed for a porch-swing life. She's aimed at passport stamps. Their futures don't match, and scratching the itch for more would only leave them in desperate need of a first-aid kit. But when one of them goes off script, the pent-up feelings combust into something unruly, beautiful … and dangerous. Egged on by their way-too-helpful found family and the full-blown chaos that is life at Mayberry, they bulldoze through the messiest parts of faith. Like depression, jealousy, family wounds, and temptation. Then comes growth they can't stomach, imperfect obedience, and a love that costs more than they thought. It's not easy. Sometimes obedience to the still, small voice looks like inaction. Sometimes a simple prayer feels like a fight. Why does obedience feel impossible? Can we ever measure up to who He says we are?
