Hope and Alden are two people who married late in life and moved to a farm in Kentucky they had purchased from Joy. When she passed away, the couple ran across treasures around her home that led them to her boyfriend, Mark. Mark was a philanthropist who wanted to do great things with his wealth. Hope and Alden turned over Joy's treasures to Mark who, in return, paid for the couple to travel to Israel. Later in the story, Mark invites Hope to Romania with him to visit an orphanage for the lost children who roam the streets. Hope found a poem that Alden had written in a picture frame on the wall called "Finally Home." Alden had given it to Mark without Hope even being aware of it. Mark and Hope came back to the farm with a young lady named Anna. Through multiple crises, Anna bonded with a horse that Mark had rescued. Anna and the horse come to a place of healing by the end of the story, showing that all things really can work out for good. There is always hope.
