You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 2Corinthians 3:2-3

Isolated from friends and continually exposed to her father’s violent temper, she plots to escape her wretched new life. Unknown to her, the three young visitors who show up on the farm, bringing welcome friendship, have come through a mysterious time portal. As each one of her schemes falls apart, their questions and curiosity only further convince Nadya her happiness lies elsewhere.

"It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
C.S. Lewis
