Summary
Young Faith hopes to impress her new boyfriend by inviting him over for dinner with her family. But how can a "dependable" girl win the guy of her dreams when her mysteriously captivating younger sister enchants him without even trying? And when her mother is making it even more difficult by being...herself? While a menacing storm approaches, the evening gets tenser and stranger as the unraveling drama mirrors the young man's play to the letter. Though acutely self-conscious, Faith learns what she is worth and that sometimes what you dream is not what it appears.
