Plot Summary of Saturday Nights at the God Cafe
"Saturday Nights at the God Café is the story of Julia Davis, a troubled girl in search of something real after the death of her alcoholic mother. Julia turns to all the wrong sources to find this reality including promiscuity and friends who don't have her best interests at heart. Her father offers no help as grief and a guilty secret push him farther away from his daughter. Then, one day, Julia makes a quick stop at a beachfront cyber café and notices a Website on one of the computers—The God Café. With just enough openness in her heart for God, she posts a question on
the Web site's message board. When she returns to the café, Julia is surprised to find her question answered but she is not at all pleased with the response. Thus begins Julia's journey to find God while discovering herself along the way."

Karen Correll, Resident Scholar
