Years ago, Martin cracked open his Bible and began wrestling with a few fundamental questions. He asked, “What if every single word of Scripture is absolutely true and I can trust it?

Die verhaal word vertel vanuit die perspektief van drie opeenvolgende generasies – drie vroue wat reageer op mekaar en hul tyd. Hulle lewe in spanning, tussen weggaan en moet bly, en tussen vergeet en móét onthou, omdat onthou die enigste skakel is wat hulle nog met die oerbron van hul bestaan verbind.
