NCLA Review -Thomas, a young Mennonite man from Kansas who has just completed college in Boston, has made friends with some prestigious people with backgrounds very different from his. His best friend’s sister dotes on Thomas and makes it clear she would like to marry him. But Daphne is not a Christian and Thomas has been warned about being unequally yoked, and, he has a girl back in Kansas waiting for him. He is torn between remaining in Boston, where he has promised Harry and Daphne he would work for a presidential candidate, and returning to Kansas, where his family anxiously awaits his return. He goes to Kansas for a few weeks, much to the delight of his father, who has plans for him to open a business there, and enjoys spending time with his parents and younger sisters, but eventually returns to Boston to keep his promise. Working for the election turns sour when he learns things about his candidate's background that conflict with everything Thomas has been taught. He turns to God for help in making these important, life-altering decisions, but God seems strangely silent. Should he follow the lead of his heart?
