"The Tapestry" - Script
In 1941, young Ellie O'Brien faces a devastating betrayal by the one she loves most. In the aftermath, she comes to doubt everything she has been raised to believe. If God is real, why would He allow her to suffer so deeply and undeservedly?
But years later, when her granddaughter Cassie faces heartbreak, Ellie is able to use the hard-won lessons of her own youth to help her grandchild see that God is always at work—even in our greatest struggles and trials. He is always good and He always does good. In this moving drama, Ellie and Cassie's lives are interwoven like an elaborate tapestry.
