Kate was raised in the Holy Divine Church-it influenced everything from her homeschooling to her handmade clothes. But ever since her unbelieving father s death last year, she has suspected that there s more to life than memorizing scripture. Taking advantage of their move to a new town, Kate-to her devout mother s horror-quits Holy Divine. She joins the cross-country team, wears shorts to public school, and even tries a traditional Christian church. As she struggles to come to terms with her father s death and her mother s unquestioning beliefs, Kate discovers there s a big difference between religion and faith-and that the two don t always go hand in hand.
