Young Joanna knows all the Jewish prayers... and how they’re really about Jesus. That’s because her mother, who was once studying to become a rabbi, converted to evangelicalism through Jews for Jesus many years ago. With her mother's help, Joanna learns all the tricks of Christian missions, eventually becoming a missionary herself. But then something ancient draws her away, to traditions she never learned and dark histories she never studied. And to a tiny village where, centuries ago, her father’s father’s father made a very different choice.
