Even her name, Verna Schiffelgruber, sets the lovely, old-fashioned Dutch girl apart from her new classmates when she arrives at the state college. Driven by her burning desire to be accepted by the most stylish and popular girls on campus, Verna struggles to keep the one thing she had been taught to hold most dear, her faith.

Handsome upperclassman Sam Goldman is drawn to Verna from the moment he sees the troubled, frightened look in her eyes as she sits silently in front of him on the train filled with students heading for the college. Sam's Jewish heritage also sets him apart. But his self-confident airs and stubborn search for truth is in sharp contrast to Verna's prudish self-pity, and she finds herself leaning more and more on Sam in this moving story of growing love, faith, and commitment.
