"Kennedy Sawyer is the valedictorian of her upper middle class, liberal high school. Roland Abbot is a charismatic, attractive televangelist from New Life Church, with a dark past and an illegitimate child. Ignoring the cautions of her mother and the confusion of her Ivy League-bound friends, Kennedy enrolls at the conservative Christian Carter University where her sights are set on Roland Abbot--her birth father. Kennedy's intentions are to learn more about her father than the Bible. However, roommates who are quick to evangelize to strangers, an RA who seems to be hiding something, and friends in the most unlikely places challenge everything she's ever held as true in the raging battle of us vs. them." -- From back cover.
