This book was a strong statement about faith!  It was about praying for God's guidance, and then listening for His answer.  It was about committing one's heart to God's will and plan for your life, even if it's not what you think you want.Jennifer Evans arrives on what she believes is her brother's doorstep two months before the wedding to which he's invited her.  She's scarred, physically and emotionally, and she's carrying everything she owns in her duffle bag.  The doorstep, however, turns out to belong to Bill Morgan, her brother's roommate and friend.Everyone Jenn meets is strongly grounded in their faith and belief in God -- a God Jenn believes doesn't care about her and doesn't answer prayers.  Slowly, the example of their lives, even more than their words, leads Jenn to believe God might, in fact, truly love her.  In the meantime, thinking she wasn't ready to hear about his faith, Bill won't tell her that part of his commitment to the Lord is sharing his life with a woman with a like faith; as a result, Jenn doesn't realize Bill is in love with her, but is waiting for an answer from God.Watching the faith and love for God in the lives of these characters, along with watching Jennifer's faith blossom, was such a pleasure.  The story reminds us that God's plan for our lives is always better than our own.  Do NOT miss this story!
