A curious braid of memoir, social commentary, and biblical narrative woven together into one compelling storyline. Davis began writing the book as a commentary, primarily, but as she wrote the real-time memoir portion began to take on a life of its own.

At a time when parents are crying out for answers to the relentless pressure and purposelessness that their children are experiencing, a new answer emerges - an answer as old as time.
