Believing that marriage is a sacrament, Vincent says no. \u003cbr\u003e Soon, though, everything Vincent understands about himself and his vocation in Taiwan changes. A complicated friendship with one of the high-school girls he teaches sends him on a path toward spiritual reckoning. It also causes him to reconsider Gwa's extraordinary proposition. What follows is not just an exhilarating -- sometimes harrowing -- journey to a remote city in China, but an exploration of love, loneliness, and the nature of faith.","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46744104534243,"sku":"DTRSSUS-9780743246354","price":184.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/O_fa3c0711-7dab-49b7-9aee-e698451ad858.jpg?v=1750599588","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/9780743246354","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
