Four years after the tragic death of her young husband, music professor Callie O'Ryan had nearly lost all confidence in God's faithfulness. A strange quirk of events thrusts her into the life of Marc Raphael, a popular Christian musician she had idolized as a teenager, when he was still a riotously successful rock star.
When Marc invites her to contribute her musical talents to a Christian musical he has dreamed of composing, Callie's life is turned around. She learns that Marc's Christianity is not only especially rich, but also painfully difficult - he's Jewish. But Callie also discovers that Jesus Christ can turn the pain of a people, as well as her own mourning, into eternal joy.
