A Story of Religious Challenge, one young woman's deep faith, and a changing church in the New England of the 1840's.

This tale of personal passion and deep faith is set in the entrenched Calvinism of Andover, Ma. during an era when other faith beliefs were contesting its dominance.

The future of the church becomes rooted in the political rather than than the spiritual as Mary James Abbott enters a battle between her own personal needs, her love of this church and her deep dedication to the teachings of Jesus.
