Description

When Emma Davis reads the words of Isaiah 6:8 in her room at a Georgia women's college, she understands her true calling: to become a missionary. It is a leap of faith that sweeps her away to Africa in an odyssey of personal discovery, tremendous hardship and profound transformation. Her life in Africa is utterly unlike her sheltered childhood and so is her new husband Henry. Together they experience tragedy and heartbreak as well as joy. A tale of spiritual and social awakening and a meditation on faith, freedom and desire.
