"I find it ironic that we, as humans, are attracted to fortune and fame. I've always wondered what it's like to live in poverty, in hunger, in pain. We, the people of today, are obsessed with things. I wonder what it would be like to be obsessed with values, or with personalities. I wonder what it would be like to be obsessed with God. I guess it's only a matter of time until I find out." Sabrina Palmer is on top. As a high-class editor in the fashionable New York City, NY, she has everything that she could ever need. So, when her boss comes to her, telling her that she needs to find a new approach to her writing and editing, Sabrina is dumbstruck. Luckily for her, her friend Max is living in India, and he invites her there for a week to learn about the ways of the people and to possibly write a story on them. While there, Sabrina is shocked at the things she learns;she's shocked at the things she never knew before. She decides to stay for an extra week, and then another week, until she realizes she doesn't want to go back to New York. She wants to stay in India until she learns how to find God, until she can learn to pray. Follow Sabrina as she travels to India, China, Ethiopia, and beyond, and watch as she connects with people throughout the world. And maybe when she meets you, she'll teach you what she learned. She'll teach you to pray.
