Brooks Quinlan is a young man who has never understood his family's Christian faith and feels disconnected from them, particularly hurt by the unexplained grudge his father holds against him. When Brooks meets Marie, he is forced to consider that belief in Jesus might not be a Quinlan peculiarity but rather the reason for her apparent peace despite her mysteriously tragic past. Over the course of a year, facing the hills and valleys in both their lives, Brooks begins to ask the questions that have plagued him. He discovers that faith enables people to live without all the answers, and redemption reaches even the deepest wounds.
