James Barclay dreamed of adventure - using his medical skills to spread the gospel as a missionary doctor in exotic China. But a twist of fate lands him as the owner of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s famous Virginia estate. Instead of traveling the world, he’s giving endless tours to rude visitors while his plan for a silk business unravels. As if trapped in a cage of his own making, James watches his missionary dreams slip away with each passing day. But when a fiery young preacher named Alexander Campbell comes to town, he ignites a religious storm that threatens to tear James’s community apart over controversial teachings. Suddenly James finds himself at a crossroads between following the path he's on, or God's call for something more. With his faith hanging by a thread and his family's future at stake, he must risk everything to rekindle the fire of his sacred dreams. This short story prequel to "Becoming Lottie Moon" is set against the backdrop of the antebellum South, transporting readers to a pivotal moment in American history. Follow one man on his quest for truth and purpose. An inspiring tale that will speak to anyone who has ever longed to embrace their destiny.
