About this book

A gifted church singer begins to question the purpose of her music in Mary Hitchcock's Christian novel. Winifred Gray sings before an admiring congregation in New Laodicea, enjoying both the anthem and her ability to move its listeners. A visiting speaker's sermon on sincere worship unsettles that satisfaction. His words lead her to examine whether her Sunday attendance and singing express devotion or chiefly serve the pleasures of performance and social approval.

The conflict reaches into family life when Winifred considers an invitation to Mrs. Butterworth's ball. Her father and Hubert discuss Christ's visits to social gatherings, while her mother worries about the expectations of their social circle. Winifred's decision to decline brings relief alongside concern for her mother's disappointment. Through sermons, conversations and private reflection, the novel places religious conviction beside ordinary choices about music, company and belonging.
