Another dead body ... another missed phone call from Eternity. What could it mean? If God really does exist, why would He call someone when they are dying? This is the question that gnaws on Toni's thoughts all summer long.
At least these deaths, though sad, are adding new relationships to her lonely life. Toni has felt insecure from growing up in a broken home, but now she is beginning to open up and experience closeness like she never has before.
She and her sister begin to see more of each other, she grows closer to relatives she hardly knew and she's met Charlie. He is sweet and able to draw her out of her bottled-up emotions to show her how much he cares.
Toni begins to think maybe there is healing in all of this. Maybe God is really calling her?
