From their first meeting, electricity surges between Matt and Maria. Although Matt is an ordained priest, their lives become more closely entwined over time, and both struggle with the conviction that a relationship, so normal for any man and woman, remains forbidden them by their faith. But faith, too often tested by the fires of life, is either made stronger or consumed. The two find that the demons of life do not spare someone because of a Roman collar, or a white nursing cap. So it is that Matt and Maria find their faith tested in the forge of life in the big city. Events occur in both lives that add to the struggle of conscience for the two young people. Caught in a tug of war between faith and human desire, Few are Chosen chronicles the battle between their hearts and their souls.
