Noah Speer's fast track to the pulpit of the largest church in the South stalls when he's sent to Village Green to aid the aged local pastor. Frustrated with the interruption to his career and desperate for a sympathetic ear, he turns to newcomer Dr. Emily Cutler.
Emily, a brilliant doctor who has been praised for her kind heart and sharp mind, but never her looks, is delighted by Noah's attention, though she knows it's because she is one of the few women in town under the age of seventy. But as their friendship deepens, Noah finds himself questioning the very life he's been chasing-and the woman who may hold the key to a greater purpose. In a town that's more about faith than fame, can they discover a love that leads them both on a path they never expected?
