Anne Hutchingson values two things most in life: family and faith.
When her older sister Ashley, a chronic drug addict, gets into trouble with the law, Anne's faith compels her to take Ashley's three children out of foster care and adopt them. Mona, Missy, and Shad are a joy to be around, and Anne does not regret her decision even for a moment.
The only problem? The little boy's father, Trace Dodd, and his brother, Franklin.
Franklin, who is also the local sheriff, has come up with a plan to unite his brother's son with his family and become a part of Anne's life. Smitten with her, he helps his family convince Anne to move to the area so they can assist in the children's upbringing.
Franklin and Anne are a match made in heaven, and he is wonderful with her nieces and nephew. All he needs to do is convince Anne of his faith and values before she can commit to a life with him...
As Anne and Franklin fall in love and their families bond over their shared struggles, Ashley makes an attempt to ruin their happiness from prison.
Will she manage to tear them apart, or will they stick together?
Will their love for each other and the children prevail at the end of the day?
