Camilla Clare - usually spirited, outgoing, kind and adventurous - is at her most vulnerable and confused as she wrestles to resolve her inner conflicts, questing after genuine and loving relationships but veering from one extreme to another as she tries to find her way. She only experiences people genuinely living with true faith and commitment in Africa. In England, she finds it impossible to readjust to her parents' values and attitudes and her faith is constantly undermined through scornful snobbery. Eventually she falls into despair. It is Barnaby and Theodore, sons of Jeremy James and Aurora, who refuse to accept inherited, poisonous attitudes and beliefs. Are they equipped for success and happiness given their intolerance of arrogance, their determination to living freely and to engaging with life's pains? Will they be able to find, forgive and unravel the wrongs of family and bravely commit to future redemption and hope?
