Rosaria, by the standards of many, was living a very good life. She had a tenured position at a large university in a field for which she cared deeply. She owned two homes with her partner, in which they provided hospitality to students and activists that were looking to make a difference in the world. In the community, Rosaria was involved in volunteer work. At the university, she was a respected advisor of students and her department's curriculum. Then, in her late 30's, Rosaria encountered something that turned her world upside down—the idea that Christianity, a religion she had regarded as problematic and sometimes downright damaging, might be right about who God was. That idea seemed to fly in the face of the people and causes that she most loved. What follows is a story of what she describes as a train wreck at the hand of the supernatural. These are her secret thoughts about those events, written as only a reflective English professor could.

      The author, formerly a college professor and radical gay and lesbian activist, is now a pastor's wife and children's advocate. Narrating her own work with skill, she describes her life-transforming acceptance of Christ and conversion to Christian principles. She gives a nuanced portrayal of the Reformed Presbyterian pastor who lovingly challenged her to examine her beliefs about God after he read a critique she'd written in support of homosexuals. As narrator, Butterfield maintains a consistent pace and pleasing tone as she delivers commentary on the Christian culture in general and homeschooling, of which she's now a strong advocate, in particular. Her account candidly reveals how her belief in Christ has changed her worldview and impacted her life. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
