Thomas Hall is a brilliant but brash young artist who has the talent of the old masters and an eye for color . . . and women. But when he runs short of cash, he finds himself torn between illustrating a mural on the origins of man for a natural history museum—a tribute to Darwin—and illustrating the miracles of Jesus for a display inside a children's hospital called the Healing Place. A self-proclaimed agnostic, Thomas must dig deep within himself to believe beyond his doubts as he wrestles with that elusive something called faith. Then he meets a young, critically ill girl named Christina. Her haunting past and undeviating faith will test the very soul of Thomas and that of every reader.
