Julia has everything money can buy...except for acceptance by
either the Gentiles or the Jews. Her Greek father already has a
wife and family, leaving Julia and her Hebrew mother second-class
citizens. But when they are introduced to followers of the Way,
they become part of that community of believers.
Abigail's brother, Jacob, now a young man, is attempting to
discover his own place as a Christian. He is concerned that being
more serious about his faith means trading away the exhilaration of
his current profession as a caravan guard. Hired by Julia's father
to protect the wealthy merchant's caravans on the secretive
"Frankincense Trail"--undercover transport of this highly valuable
commodity--Jacob also passes letters and messages between various
communities of believers. He is alarmed to find out that Julia,
hardly more than a girl, is also a messenger. Can their immediate
mistrust be put aside to finally bring their hearts together?
