Willow Grier, having accepted both that she is lesbian and that God has called her into the ministry is excited to begin her seminary training. Then the church informs her she will not be eligible for ordination if she refuses not to remain in the closet. The painful rejection addles her, even though she still believes God loves her and wants her to pastor churches. Wanting no part of living a closeted life, she even hopes to find love someday.



Hurt but not deterred, she determines to battle in order to achieve the full life she believes God intends for her. Friends in seminary become allies and assist Willow in attempting to overturn the church's decision.



Will she succeed and fulfill her calling or pay a huge price for being honest about her identity?
