Psalm county, 1991, seven-year-old Solomon Green, the hidden lovechild of Bathsheba Green and the Reverend Adam Davis, performs acts of prophecy-that he can heal living things. But he sees his gift as only a way to help. Even Bathsheba, his mother, doesn't know of his ability.

Wanda Davis has lived in married bliss with Adam Davis for seven years. But the memory that her husband once loved Bathsheba still terrifies her.

Adam Davis, leader of the Pull to Passion Baptist church, has grown his ministry to epic proportions in the once sleepy Garden city. He has quickly become the most wealthy and powerful Reverend the country has ever known. He sees signs that his long-awaited prophecy has arrived. But he doesn't know this prophecy, the healer, is his lovechild.
