Cal is not the readin' type. Living way high up in the Appalachian Mountains, he'd rather help Pap plow or go out after wandering sheep than try some book learning. Nope.

Wanna know what the problem is? It's God. Deep down inside, in that quiet place in our heart and soul, the problem is we don't know if he is real. I was betrayed by the church, hurt by the leaders and the ones I looked up too, and embarrassed about how "Christians" behave. So I walked away.
