Craig wants answers and doesn’t get them in Hebrew School, so he drops out, then wants to make Bar Mitzvah and does, thanks to a rabbi’s help. His parents divorce but his maternal grandpa upholds him. He meets Lauri, goes to college and they marry while he’s in law school. She’s Catholic but they agree to study the Bible. When a colleague at work tells Craig about Jesus and points out the flaws in Catholic teaching, Lauri becomes an apostate as the first part ends.
