It’s about a girl in a small very conservative (maybe too judgmental) community. She’s young, probably in high school and fell in love with her boyfriend but her folks are worried that she’s moving too fast. In an effort to control their daughter (and maybe correct her ways) they send her to Bible college. The girl learns that true love is a gift from God and she doesn’t need to be ashamed about her feelings. Sounds like her boyfriend waited for her.
