description: After the tragic death of her closest friend 20-year-old Celia Thatcher is sent to work in the bookstore of family friends. Hoping the new surroundings in Massachusetts will help her regain a happy outlook on life Celia catches the eye of not one but two men: the elite but unkempt Bostonian-turned-hermit Edward Lyons who is clearly trying to run from his past and from God and Charles Harrod a charming Harvard law student who promotes a religious belief Celia has never before considered. With both men vying for her attention Celia's world is again turned upside down when one of her beaus is accused of murder. Suddenly realizing where her heart lies Celia is now challenged with a choice bigger than man: should she follow her heart or her God?
