Baffled and angry, David finishes grad school and takes a teaching assignment in the Midwest. Disillusioned, Rachel moves in with her Aunt Ruth and Uncle Saul in the Midwest. Mere miles apart for years without realizing it, they are finally reunited in answer to their son’s timely prayer the day Rachel registers him in his father’s school.
