In this last novel of the Tug and Amber trilogy, Tug (40), a conservative White Baptist minister from rural North Carolina and Amber (37), a liberal Black minister born in New England -- who left the Methodist denomination ten years earlier because she did not feel she could answer God's call to preach under the restraints of an incompetent superior -- continue to face the realities of living as an interracial couple with two biracial children in a small southern town.
