Abby is the sixteen-year-old daughter of a pastor who ministers at a church in St. Louis. Although she believes in her father's message of salvation, she does not agree that putting God's will first should be a priority. She is not interested in making a total commitment like her parents. Rather her heart's desires is to obtain wealth, even with her meager background, and to possess expensive material things and a high place in society. It would not matter what cost she might have to pay to get what she wanted. When told her papa was giving up his church to begin a home mission work in Kansas and that she would have to go with them, she thought her world had come to an end. Her hopes of a wealthy lifestyle seemed to be disappearing before her eyes, but to her surprise, she finds that Kansas has more to offer than she had thought. After some time had passed since moving to Kansas, Abby gradually begins to change without even realizing it herself until the day she comes to understand that putting God first and seeking His will for her life is the only thing that brings joy, peace, and satisfaction. Her life takes a totally different direction than the one she had chosen for herself. Because of the faithfulness of Abby's parents to stay in God's will, not only Abby, but many others, come to see the great things God can do if we put Him first.
