Light reading for Christian audience. Joan is a twenty- five year old heroine who still lives at home with mom and grandma. She is bored with her job, struggling with inferiority compared to her sisters, feeling resentment toward her mother because her father abandoned them, and frightened her grandmother will be sent to nursing home and be one more person she’s lost. She is troubled by what must be wrong with her that her earthly and her heavenly father had deserted her. The handsome doctor who moves in next door challenges her to examine her faith and church-going attitudes. She does a lot of growing up as a woman and a Christian.
