Sometimes the person you most need is the one least like you. Kathryn Davies is a bright young woman from a prominent Phoenix family. But after making a leap of faith at a Christian music fest, dropping out of med school, and moving to inner city Chicago, her family all but disowns her. When Kat discovers SouledOut Community Church, she longs to become a part of the multicultural church family. But her tendency to immediately say whatever sheÆs thinking steps on the toes of nearly everyone she meetsùespecially Avis Douglass. Avis has a strong faith, is the principal of one of ChicagoÆs highest performing elementary schools, and is a founding member of SouledOut. But the countryÆs economic downturn has thrown both her and her husbandÆs jobs in question. And Avis hasnÆt heard from her youngest daughter in monthsùan estrangement that gnaws at her every day. Where is God in this? KatÆs flamboyant zeal for living a ôradicalö Christian life is a stark contrast to AvisÆs more reserved faith. But in GodÆs timing, the two women discover they need each other in ways neither of them expected.
