When Stephanie Kent moved to a new town to work with disadvantaged teens, she vowed not to let her fears and doubts take over. Young and optimistic, she couldn't help seeing worlds of potential in the teens—and feeling drawn to her boss Paul, a cynical ex-pastor who had given up on God. But the more she worked with Paul (who treated her like a naive do-gooder) and the teens (who were addicts, criminals, and world-class manipulators), the more uncertain she became about everything. Just when she felt like giving up, Stephanie realized God was still working on all of them—and she sensed hope rising once again.
