A Place The Heart

A talented young woman is torn between her Christian faith and her love for a wealthy writer who she fears can't be trusted. Rhonna Moran is a small town reporter who wants to make it as an environmental journalist, like Cal Conway, the man she fights falling in love with. She's a Promise Keeper, determined not to engage in premarital sex, the only kind Cal seems interested in. Worse yet, he seems to be heading for marriage to a scheming woman from his own social class. Rhonna is struggling to avoid foreclosure on her family's Long Island potato farm. If she's the one to break the environmental story she's uncovered, money would no longer be a problem. The trouble is, Cal is after the same story and is in a better position to get it. He also knows that the story is too dangerous for Rhonna to handle alone. Rhonna's life starts to unravel as she tries to keep Cal at a distance, her story for herself, the farm in her sick father's hands, and her journalistic ambitions from compromising her values.Contemporary environmental crises collide with spiritual commitments, creating a dilemma that can be solved only by faith on Cal's side and trust on Rhonna's.
