This is the continued story of the girl from part I. She has a challenging home life, and escapes by listening to music. This is where she finds God and/or revelation. (Like Paul heard from God on the Damascan Road.)

Her favorite broadcast is of a choir from a big church in the city. They are what she listened to during her revelatory moment, and so she decides to go on a quest to see the women singing in the choir face to face. It's her way of trying to grow up, seek answers, and find her own way. She doesn't know exactly what to expect but hopes to find it when she gets there.

Unfortunately, she doesn't even get into the church! God has not answered, and she finds herself alone in the unfriendly city. She's back to square one of her (dare I say it) life pursuit.
