Mr. Gwa wonders: In exchange for money, will Vincent travel to China, take part in a counterfeit marriage, and bring the woman back to Taiwan for Gwa to marry legitimately? Believing that marriage is a sacrament, Vincent says no.Soon, though, everything Vincent understands about himself and his vocation in Taiwan changes. A complicated friendship with one of the high-school girls he teaches sends him on a path toward spiritual reckoning. It also causes him to reconsider Gwa's extraordinary proposition. What follows is not just an exhilarating -- sometimes harrowing -- journey to a remote city in China, but an exploration of love, loneliness, and the nature of faith.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51952384934176,"sku":"NEW0743246357","price":29.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/heaven-lake-a-novel-0743246357","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
