Sandy Summers is living her life to the fullest-teaching art at a local college, enjoying long runs in the forest, and exploring the depths of her faith. Then, her world is turned upside down when she takes in an abandoned teenage girl.

Soon she finds her family growing as more children come to her in need of love and support. After travelling briefly to restore her spirit, she meets a widowed senior man named Ted, whom she comforts after the passing of his beloved wife. She decides to move her new family to Ted's farm, and they launch a sewing business to help make ends meet and to support the growth and development of the children. The family continues to grow as new children are rescued, including a baby boy who comes to them just weeks before Christmas.

Through it all, Sandy and Ted struggle to provide guidance, support, and love to their young charges, and to set an example as they explore their potential through a life of faith, commitment, and hard work.

This is the story of how the gaps in social services can have a huge impact on the lives of young people, and how love, discipline, and a big heart are needed to make a true difference in today's world.
