People change. We grow and learn and evolve, but sometimes we refuse to consider that truth might be less like a rock and more like a river, changing, altering course, welcoming tributaries from varied sources. Rachel and Kathy have plenty in common. Both are the eldest daughters of pastors, both are intelligent and thoughtful; and both love their families and God. However, their dads' different approaches to truth and the meaning of "the gospel" lead the girls in separate directions as they deal with growing up and faith and their places in the world. This is not a typical story of preachers' kids rebelling; it is a story about friendship. It is a look at how varying interpretations of truth inspire divergent responses from two trusting, searching girls. Life, friendship, truth: all are like a river.
