She wants to do evangelism, but the team didn’t bring a translator and the villagers don’t speak any English. When Kim breaks her arm, she feels useless. Kim’s negative overreaction to the change angers the project leaders and her teammates and immediately makes her the least popular team member. Construction in a remote village without plumbing and electricity rather than evangelism in a medium-sized town with numerous souvenir and fast food places.

This first novel in a brand-new series will challenge your faith-and capture your heart-as you get to know Kim and her new friends and witness their unforgettable journey. Join spoiled eighteen-year-old Kim Hartlinger on a mission trip to a remote Mexican village-where faith, obedience, and forgiveness intersect.
