Julie is initially captivated by David's charismatic presence, but as she knows David more, she longs to crumble the walls that he hides himself behind and get to know his inner man. Instead, David has an affair, and her life, dreams, and hopes are shattered.
Jenny's young heart too is initially captivated by David's charismatic presence, but once she discovers his inner man, she loves him for who he is. She becomes his friend and closest confident, and their relationship lingers long after their physical affair that results in a precious little boy. They are in each other's arms only one time, but that one time is a bitter-sweet memory of the binding of two bodies and souls.
It is only after tragedy strikes that David and Julie enjoy a true marriage of love and connectedness, but even then, some hurts go so deep that healing proves difficult for them both. Grace for each other stemmed from God's grace is the saving factor in their marriage. They realize that it is only God who has the power to redeem a marriage.
