Summary

World-renowned theologian Michael Novak is suddenly forced to bring his learning and many years of reflection close to home when his twentysomething daughter Jana, a journalist in her own right, sends him a long fax filled with practical questions about religion and life. As he attempts to answer, Jana challenges what she doesn't understand, raising the provocative questions of her generation and people of all ages. She is not interested in a scholarly essay but straight and honest replies - and she never hesitates to bat back an answer she doesn't like.
