Summary:
When Carolyn Weber arrived at Oxford for her graduate studies, she felt no need for God. Her childhood in a broken but loving family taught her to rely on reason and intellect -- not faith -- for survival. Eager and expectant, Carolyn set out to study Romantic literature. She had no idea that she was about to embark on a love story of her own -- one much deeper, more colorful, and more surprisingly God-shaped than any she'd read before. Organized according to the Oxford liturgical academic calendar, this memoir tells the real life tale of a young woman's search for purpose, identity, and what it really means to be human.
