Rough Water Baptism is about a dramatic shift in Elise Brinkley’s world. She has grown up in San Francisco, with her brilliant neuroscientist father, and has absorbed from him and from her environment a worldview that insists that the material world is all there is. Her faith in that way of thinking becomes tested. Her life is in some ways perfect, unperturbed by doubt, but she experiences through her friend Joy a sense that there may be something more to this life.
Then she is swept up in romance with the handsome and enigmatic Tino.
Tino is not all that he appears to be, however. Elise’s world comes crashing down around her in the space of a few hours, but through the ordeal she comes to embrace a hard-won appreciation that there is a Source outside ourselves — that there is a reason to believe in the good, the true, and the beautiful in our lives.
