Beth isn't running away. At least that's what she tells herself when she agrees to take on a temporary mission position teaching English at a children's home and school near Cuernavaca, Mexico. The truth is, she only took the job, in part, to get away from her alcoholic father and her difficult brother, both of whom have been at each other's throats since her mother died in a tragic car accident six months ago. Now, she's looking for a summer full of meaningful work and free of personal conflict. Unfortunately, she only gets half of what she's looking for. Plenty of personal conflict comes with her fellow teacher at the school, Brent. Brent an American who grew up in Mexico, works full time at the school and is suspicious of and sometimes hostile towards missionaries who come to work in Mexico only for a few months and then leave. None the less, Beth does her best to work with her difficult partner and, as the weeks go on, she finds that she and Brent develop a tentative sort of friendship. But, when family drama from home threatens to interfere with her work in Mexico, Beth finds herself with a difficult choice. Should she stay in Mexico, doing the work that she is sure God wants her to do? Or should she go home and be the peacemaker in her family, as she always has in the past? Can her new partner, Brent, help her discover her true purpose?
