When Emma Davis reads the words of Isaiah 6:8 in her room at a
Georgia women's college, she understands her true calling: to
become a missionary. It is a leap of faith that sweeps her away to
Africa in an odyssey of personal discovery, tremendous hardship,
and profound transformation. For the earnest, headstrong daughter
of a prosperous slave owner, living among the Yoruba people is
utterly unlike Emma's sheltered childhood - as is her new husband,
Henry Bowman. 20 years her senior, the mercurial Henry is the
object of Emma's mad first love, intensifying the sensations of all
they see and share together.
