Following her dream of a career in forestry, openhearted Ambi attends an illustrious university. However, her outspoken Christian criticisms of materialist theories create a lot of hostility. Angry staff and students plan to silence, humiliate, and finally physically harm her. Her career seems doomed to be blighted before it starts. Danger threatens at the Autumn Ball, where a tentative friendship begins with fellow student Russell, who is impressed by her critiques and her pluck. Russell is researching human longevity sponsored by an unscrupulous company that targets Ambi. He is attracted to her but wrestles with his materialist convictions. They explore the conflicting beliefs that form a glass barrier between them. Will skeptic Russell rescue Ambi from humiliation and harm?
“In Silencing Outspoken Ambrosine, two young people from clashing worldviews find more in common than they expect as challenging the scientific orthodoxy leads to adventure and danger. Ambi experiences intolerance as she shares the most up-to-date findings of science. Yet it becomes clear that science itself is pointing ever more clearly away from Darwinism to a creator God. J. C. Walton draws skillfully from his own distinguished academic career in telling Ambi’s tale.”
