Family is at the forefront of Words as daughter Olivia Evans (14) sings on "Marquee Sign" and Sara's siblings Matt Evans, Lesley Evans Lyons and Ashley Evans Simpson provide harmonies on "Night Light." In "Letting You Go," Sara pours out her heart for son and oldest child Avery as he prepares to embark on his senior year of high school.
