Erik and Clarette Torsten are committed to each other and to God. After all, together they survived the race riots back in Tulsa. So surely they can face a little small-town prejudice in Erik's home town.
But when a flood drives their small weekly newspaper out of business, Clarette is secretly relieved to have a reason for going back to New York City. After all, in New York people won't look down their noses at her for being a new Christian from the city. And in New York, Erik can experience the excitement of scooping stories for the big city newspapers. Best of all, in New York surely Clarette's dream will come true and the play she's written will make it to Broadway.
Erik is determined to see Clarette's dreams do come true. But at what cost to their marriage? And more importantly, at what cost to their relationship with God?
