Publisher's Synopsis
Society is in breakdown. Zoe Marshall - daughter of a Presbyterian minister and raised in established institutional religion - is in trouble. Her young life is dissolving in grief and loneliness, and her mainline religion has left her marooned, bereft of insight and hope.
In her despair, she travels to the Florida Keys to renew a college friendship. Thus began her odyssey with Rosie and herself. Behind our little everyday world, there is a larger reality - the miracle of unexpected love. Life's true meaning is exposed through what we think is mere coincidence. Each new day brings the possibility of rebirth to a world previously undreamed. Zoe's old religion has failed her and her country, yet she rises alive to a life-transforming revelation.
Zoe and Rosie were worlds apart. They were of different generations, separated by age, race, sex, and culture - they were impossibly unalike... until they come together at a time of crisis.... Their story is a journey to the truth of who we are. In the ordinary events of their lives, we catch sight of the great mystery that underlies us all - compelling us to the core of our real self. It is a different kind of love story with surprising twists.
It is our story.
