Plot Summary

Millions of people speak to God. What if God spoke back? Life just got a hell of a lot more confusing for teenage Joan Girardi, who already deals with feeling out of place in her family : her police chief father, her somewhat overbearing mother, her geeky younger brother and former football star older brother, now paralyzed. They'd never believe her if she told them that God is talking to her. Does Joan have a higher purpose on earth, or are these strange conversations just in her head? Written by Ted Weiland

Trivia Show creator Barbara Hall wrote a list of guidelines for the writers, which she called "The Ten Commandments of Joan of Arcadia". These "commandments" are: * 1. God cannot directly intervene. * 2. Good and evil exist. * 3. God can never identify one religion as being right. * 4. The job of every human being is to fulfill his or her true nature. * 5. Everyone is allowed to say "no" to God, including Joan. * 6. God is not bound by time. This is a human concept. * 7. God is not a person and does not possess a human personality. * 8. God talks to everyone all the time in different ways. * 9. God's plan is what is good for us, not what is good for him. * 10. God's purpose for talking to Joan, and everyone, is to get her (us) to recognize the interconnectedness of all things - i.e., you cannot hurt a person without hurting yourself; all of your actions have consequences; God can be found in the smallest actions; God expects us to learn and grow from all our experiences. However, the exact nature of God is a mystery, and the mystery can never be solved. See more »
