The main character of this story is Ruth Weber, a girl on the brink of young womanhood. She sometimes struggles with discontentment, rebellion, and other troubles common to humanity.

You will also meet Robert, Ruth's exasperating yet lovable twin brother; Mom, who disorganized habits are a trial to Ruth; Dad, whose lack of words is a frustration to his family, and Maggie, the crusty and colorful owner of the Hawkesville General Store.

Walk with Ruth as she works in different homes; as she anguishes with her brother's struggles; as she tries to come to terms with life at home; and as she takes instruction for baptism. All the while her heart is yearning, groping for the truth. Find out how the mystery of God's Word is gradually revealed, and Ruth realizes there are spiritual things that can hardly be grasped by the mind—yet they are the essence of Truth.

Winding through the story like a silver thread is the Conestoga River; and when a minister uses it to illustrate God's plan for the Church of Christ, the river becomes a never-to-be-forgotten picture of eternal truth.
