When Stephanie Kent moves to a new town to work with disadvantaged teens, she vows not to let her fears and doubts take over. Young and optimistic, she can't help seeing worlds of potential in the teens—and feeling drawn to her boss Paul, a cynical ex-pastor who has given up on God. But the more she works with Paul (who treats her like a naive do-gooder) and the teens (who are addicts, criminals, and world-class manipulators), the more uncertain she becomes about everything. Just when she feels like giving up, Stephanie realizes God is still working on all of them—and she senses hope rising once again.
