  • "Twenty-year-old Celia Thatcher, inconsolable after the unexpected and hurtful death [of] her closest friend, is sent by her parents in the autumn of 1876 to work in the bookstore of family friends. Her parents hope the new surroundings in Massachusetts will help her regain a happy outlook on life. There she meets an elite, but unkempt Bostonian turned hermit. Her employer wants her to treat Edward Lyons, a regular customer, respectfully, but another woman in the store warns Celia away from this man who has strayed from belief in the God of the Bible. Celia also meets a charming Harvard law student, Charles Harrod, who is sympathetic to Transcendental thought. Charles and Edward vie for honors on Celia's behalf. She is challenged to choose between her two loves : an unbelieving man and her God --"
  • "Celia Thatcher is searching for her own sense of hope after the tragic death of her closest friend. Moving in 1876 to work in a Massachusetts bookstore and start life afresh, she soon catches the eye of not one, but two men: the elite, but unkempt Bostonian-turned-hermit, Edward Lyons, who is clearly trying to run from his past and from God, and Charles Harrod, a charming Harvard law student who promotes a religious belief Celia has never before considered. With both men vying for her attention, Celia's world is again turned upside down when one of her beaus is accused of murder. Suddenly realizing where her heart lies, Celia is now challenged with a choice bigger than man: should she follow her heart or her God?"
