Mattea?s collection of insightful songs about the trials of love and family is made more poignant by her own circumstances - her father?s battle with cancer. ?It?s a really emotional record for me,? she says. ?I feel like I?ve done a lot of growing up during the process.?

The title track, co-written by Mattea, expresses the influence of turning 40 and her father?s struggle with cancer (now in complete remission). ?This song for me kind of distilled into one piece of music all the emotions I felt,? she says.

The Trouble With Angels explains how, ?God will take care of you, but not necessarily in your way,? she says. The deeply emotional That?s the Deal, the true story about a man?s unwavering commitment to his ill wife, most directly speaks to Mattea?s family circumstances.
