Trying to assimilate into this new world, Thomas feels conflicted and struggles to fit in. Debutante Emmaline Whitaker is willing to teach him the delicate dance to fitting in but ends up teaching him much more.By societal standards, Thomas has finally achieved it all: a lovely fiancé, a promising career, and the guarantee of a bright future, yet he has no peace. The din of the city has distracted Thomas, and he longs to again hear God’s voice. Thomas determines to champion another in a bold attempt to save himself from succumbing to the same malaise as those around him. The anguish of this life-altering choice breaks his heart. But will his decision and newfound knowledge be enough to save his dearest friend, and at what cost?
