It all begins in Bacon's Corner, a tiny farming community far from the interstate... An attempted murder, a case of mistaken - or is it covered-up - identity, and a ruthless lawsuit against a struggling Christian school. Sally beth Roe, a young loner, a burn-out, a kind of "leftover hippie," finds herself caught in the middle of these bizarre events, fleeing for her life while trying to recall her dark past.

Across a vast panorama of heart-stopping action, Sally Roe's journey is a penetrating portrayal of our times, a reflection of our wanderings, and a vivid reminder of the redemptive power of the Cross.
