Pastor Max Jacobs, aka Poppa, and his conservative views have Mazelle questioning right from wrong daily. The sixteen-year-old teenager uses the Ten Commandments as her biblical guideline as she encounters situations with church members, the neighbor next door, and her science teacher. Her best friend, Clover, tempts Mazelle to enjoy life by breaking her tablets of stone. A major life change occurs when Pastor Jacobs moves his family to Zimbabwe, Africa for an extended missionary assignment. This unexpected journey, to a country with different cultural and social views, has Mazelle reassessing life values through the eyes of a people who are living in the present. As Mazelle realizes God's love for his people, she finds humanity at its finest.
