Carl Webster, twenty-five and a sax player, meets Rachel Hanson, seventeen. The two fall in love. There's only one problem: he's a NY atheist and she's a NJ evangelical. Rachel is the second of twelve children. Her older sister Tamar (one year older) is identical in looks to Rachel. Their father is a pastor, while their down-to-Earth mother, Leah, runs a dairy farm.Carl and Rachel meet while she is out witnessing. When Rachel asks, "Do you believe God cares for you?" his reply of, "No " startles her. She trips and sprains her ankle. That starts a bevy of comic scenes especially when the two families meet. Officer Larry Wydell is a redneck policeman who follows Rachel in her adventure to New York convinced that Carl is trying to kidnap her, or worse. We follow them all through a series of misadventures toward the hilarious ending.
