As a pregnant teen, Y. Vonne Beck questioned her very existence-she saw no reason to live. Personal loss, abandonment and humiliation had left her hopeless and alone. The birth of her son gives her life meaning, and that new love triggers her courage to not only keep living, but to thrive.
A chance meeting in a neighbourhood park brings two lonely people together and forges a lifelong friendship. Wilson, a man looking for purpose and yearning for family, helps to guide Vonne. He becomes her mentor and then, as the relationship grows, a veritable parent to both Vonne and her son, Jonathan.
With Wilson's encouragement, Vonne continues her education, still allowing few people to get close. The single mother and nurse makes it a point to shy away from intimate relationships, until a handsome resident dangles a tempting, but ultimately deceitful, carrot.
