Stand by Me

Sometimes the person you most need is the one least like you.

Kathryn Davies is a bright young woman form a prominent Phoenix family. But after making a leap of faith at a Christian music fest, dropping out of med school, and moving to inner city Chicago, her family all but disowns her.

When Kat discovers SouledOut Community Church, she longs to become a part of the multicultural church family. But her tendency to immediately say whatever she¿s thinking steps on the toes of nearly everyone she meets-especially Avis Douglass.

Avis has a strong faith, is the principal of one of Chicago¿s highest performing elementary schools, and is a founding member of SouledOut. But the country¿s economic downturn has thrown both her and her husband¿s jobs in question. And Avis hasn¿t heard from her youngest daughter in months-an estrangement that gnaws at her every day. Where is God in this?

Kat¿s flamboyant zeal for living a ¿radical¿ Christian life is a stark contrast to Avis¿s more reserved faith. But in God¿s timing, the two women discover they need each other in ways neither of them expected.
